Package labelling
refers to the graphics
and text that provide
information about
product contents, and
directions for handling
and use
Primary packaging surrounds the product and features
labelling.

of products. Some secondary packaging is also used to display
products.

16. Cost effectiveness
This test should assess the cost of the
packing as a percentage of the cost of
the product inside the packaging.
It should make an effort to estimate
the direct costs that would be
incurred over the life cycle of the
combination packaging.

17. Right-
-sizing
Right-sizing is a packaging design principle that seeks to
reduce the amount of packaging, save money, and reduce the
impact on the environment by designing packaging that is the
‘right size’ for the product.

19. Waste-free packaging
Is it possible to develop
practical and cost-effective
packaging that is waste-free?
