Packaging of Garments

Packaging is the wrapping material around a consumer item that serves to contain,
identify, describe, protect, display, promote and otherwise make the product marketable and
clean.
Functions of Packaging

1. Protects the Products and Consumer – a good packaging is intended to guard the
product. For example, packages should be designed to withstand humidity, puncture, and
other types of damage.
2. Contains the Product – containers make products easy to carry and keep them distinctly.
3. Identity of the Product – a package would be less useful if it does not identify its contents.
Usually, the contents are recognized by the label on the package. Nevertheless, using a
special design or color on the package helps customers recognize the contents.
4. Promotes the Product – the package is the natural place for promotion. It is part of the
product which is most noticeable to the customer.
5. Makes the Product Easy to Use – boxes with spouts for easy pouring, boxes with zip-
strip openings, butter wrappers with measurement marked on them are examples of the
conveniences offered by packaging. In each of these examples, the package is designed with
the user’s needs in mind.
 Packaging Materials

1. Paper and cardboard – these are among the most generally used packaging materials.
Paper is low-cost, lightweight, fairly durable, and easy to print on. Cardboard has all the
advantages of paper and is heavier and stronger.
2. Wood and glass – these are traditional materials for the stronger or more specialized
forms of packaging. Wood makes durable shipping crates, which are reused many times.
Glass is used mainly to hold liquids or products containing liquids. It doesn’t leak and has no
smell.
3. Plastic – it is used in many methods for packaging. It is shaped into jars and bottles; it is
shaped into boxes, baskets, and trays; it is processed into sheets for packaging toys, bed
linens, small articles of clothing and a wide variety of food products.
4. Metal – it is a material that has long been used to pack liquids and food products. Can is
the most commonly used metal container. At one time, all cans were made of steel with a tin
plating. These days, aluminum cans are popular, as containers for soft drinks.
5. Metallic foil – it is really thin sheet metal, commonly used in commercial packaging. It can
be folded and wrapped almost like paper and yet has the strength and moisture resistance
of metal.

Packaging Forms

Approximately the most familiar forms of packaging are boxes and crates, bottles and
jars, and bags and wrappers.

1. Skin packaging – plastic film is molded tightly over a product mounted on a card.
2. Blister packaging – a plastic bubble is pre-formed in a plastic sheet. The product is placed
on a card, and the bubble is placed over it.
3. Aerosol or Dump dispenser – a container that releases its contents in spray or foam
when a valve is pressed.
4. Flexible pouch – it is a package formed from plastic film or paper that is filled with the
product and sealed by heat process.
5. Shrink wrap – it is a package made by placing clear film around the product itself.
6. Multipack – it is a special package design that groups two or more packaged products
into a unit for easier display, carry home utility, or user convenience.
7. Aseptic packaging – it combines many good qualities of cardboard, metal and glass.
These containers are called “aseptic” because they keep germs out of foods that need no
refrigeration.
8. Dispensing Closure - it is a cap, lid, or seal through which the contents of the container
can be dispensed in a controlled manner.
