Plastic Packaging
Protective Packaging:
The reason for packaging is to protect the enclosed product from elements such as dust, contamination, shock, vibration, compression and temperature etc. Plastic packaging can create a protective barrier against oxygen, water vapor, dust, etc. this especially in the case of food packaging. the products must then often be further packaged using a more rigid form of packaging to enable transportation of the products.

Marketing aspect of Plastic Packaging
Plastic packaging and labels can be used by companies to advertise their products using design and colour and information on the packaging to attract buyers.
Security Packaging
Plastic packaging may reduce the security risks of transporting documents. Courier pouches for example are manufactured to tamper-evident features to help indicate tampering. Packages can be engineered to help reduce the risks of package pilferage: Some package constructions are more resistant to pilferage and some have pilfer indicating seals. Packages may include authentication seals and use security printing to help indicate that the package and contents are not counterfeit. Packages also can include anti-theft devices, such as dye-packs, RFID tags, or electronic article surveillance. tags, that can be activated or detected by devices at exit points and require specialized tools to deactivate. Using packaging in this way is a means of loss prevention.
Convenience -
Plastic Packaging : Packaging can have features which add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale, opening, reclosing, use, and reuse. Portion control - Single serving or single dosage packaging has a precise amount of contents to control usage. Bulk commodities (such as salt) can be divided into packaging that is more suitable size for individual households. It is also aids the control of inventory: selling sealed one-liter-bottles of milk, rather than having people bring their own bottles to fill themselves.
Packaging types
Various household packaging types for foods.
Packaging may be looked at as several different types. For example transport packaging or distribution package is the package form used to ship, store, and handle the product or inner packages. Some identify a consumer package as one which is directed toward a consumer or household. Packaging may be discussed in relation to the type of product being packaged: medical device packaging, bulk chemical packaging, over-the-counter drug packaging, retail food packaging, military material packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, etc. Pull open aluminum canIt is sometimes convenient to categorize packages by layer or function: "primary", "secondary", etc.
Primary packaging is the material that first envelops the product and holds it. This usually is the smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is in direct contact with the contents.
Secondary packaging covers the primary packaging – perhaps used to group primary packages together.
Tertiary packaging is used for bulk handling, warehouse storage and transport shipping. The most common form is a palletized unit load that packs tightly into containers. These broad categories can be somewhat arbitrary. For example, depending on the use, a shrink wrap can be primary packaging when applied directly to the product, secondary packaging when combining smaller packages, and tertiary packaging on some distribution packs.

Packaging development
Packaging design and development are often thought of as an integral part of the new product development process. Alternatively, development of a package (or component) can be a separate process, but is developed around product to be packaged. Packaging design by identifying the requirements: structural design, marketing, shelf life, quality, logistics, graphic design, end-use, environmental, etc. The design criteria, time targets, resources, and cost constraints need to be established and agreed upon.
Prevention –
Waste prevention is a primary goal. Packaging should be used only where needed. Proper packaging can also help prevent waste. Packaging plays an important part in preventing loss or damage to the packaged-product (contents). Usually, the energy content and material usage of the product being packaged are much greater than that of the package. A vital function of the package is to protect the product.

Reusing Packaging–
Returnable packaging is a possibility for some packaging requirements. Inspection, cleaning, repair are often needed.

Recycling Plastic Packaging–
Recycling plastics is the reprocessing of materials (pre- and post-consumer) into plastic granules to reuse for manufacturing products from recycled material.
