What is Packaging?

The packaging process, which is similar to packaging, is the wrapping and placing of products in their respective containers using protective materials and packaging containers using the methods specified in this standard in order to fulfill the functions of protection and information. The packaging process regulates the determination of the transportation method and means of transport, proper storage, storage and shipment activities of all equipment and their parts. Product-specific features and needs should not be forgotten when packaging the product. In general terms, when we look at the concept of packaging, we see that it serves to promote the product and is perceived as a method used in advertising. It includes the shape, weight, color, information affecting the customer and information about the product. In terms of logistics, packaging offers two services: The first is the protection of the product from external factors during the transportation and storage of the product, and the second is to reduce the cost of labor and materials that need to be used during the storage and transportation of the product. Packaging or packages can consist of three different levels of material: Primary packaging is the first, main, inner packaging that directly encloses the product. Secondary packaging is the material that protects the primary packaging and is discarded when the product is to be used. Loading or transportation packaging is necessary for storage, transportation and presentation. This includes retail packaging such as parcels, boxes, cartons and crates.
