Unit 7 Packaging Passage A Functions of Packaging The various functions of packaging are divided into primary, secondary and tertiary functions. In contrast with the primary functions, which primarily concern the technical nature of the packaging, secondary functions relate to communications and tertiary functions relate to the extent. Protective function The packaging products protect the contents packed into them from outside elements. In addition, packaging must also reliably be able to withstand the many different static and dynamic forces to which it is subjected during transport, handling and storage operations. Storage function The packaging materials and packaging containers must be stored in many different locations both before packaging of the goods and once the package contents have been used. Packaging must thus also fulfill a storage function. Part I Practical Reading

Loading and transport function Convenient goods handling entails designing transport packaging in such a manner that it may be held, lifted, moved, set down and stowed easily, efficiently and safely. Packaging thus has a crucial impact on the efficiency of transport, handling and storage of goods. Packaging should therefore be designed to be easily handled and to permit space-saving storage and stowage. Sales function The purpose of the sales function of a package is to enable or promote the sales process and to make it more efficient. Promotional function Promotional material placed on the packaging is intended to attract the potential purchaser's attention and to have a positive impact upon the purchasing decision. Promotional material on packaging plays a particularly important role on sales packaging as it is directly addressed to the consumer. This function is of subordinate significance in transport packaging. Service function The various items of information printed on packaging provide the consumer with details about the contents and use of the particular product. The package may also perform a further function once the contents have been used. Unit 7 Packaging
