Product Description

The protective function of packaging essentially involves protecting the contents from the environment and vice versa. The inward protective function is intended to ensure full retention of the utility value of the packaged goods. The packaging is thus intended to protect the goods from damage.
 
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. The goods frequently also require protection from climatic conditions, such as temperature, humidity, precipitation and solar radiation, which may require "inward packaging measures" in addition to any "outward packaging measures".

The outward protection provided by the packaging must prevent any environmental degradation by the goods. The packaging must furthermore as far as possible prevent any contamination, damage or other negative impact upon the environment and other goods.
