This document discusses the history and functions of packaging. It traces the origins of modern packaging back to the late 18th century with the industrial revolution. Early packages used natural materials but later materials like plastic, aluminum, and cellophane provided benefits of being light, low-cost, recyclable, and functional. Packaging serves key functions like protection, promotion, and providing product information. It can act as a "silent salesman" by differentiating products, aiding identification, and influencing consumer decisions. Packaging has primary, secondary, and tertiary levels and is classified as consumer or industrial based on its focus. Design considerations include protecting contents, providing information, suitability, cost, and promotional value.
