It is the most important part in a product, the lock sells too, more over it adds value to the product. A good packaging talks and sell by itself

Knowing what ingredients are including in the product and whether or not any of these ingredients may be potentially harmful (cause side effects), also figuring out whether or not the cost of a product is worth it or if the consumer (that would be the person buying the product) should be buying a cheaper brand name (if they would be getting the same or near the same value for their money)...this can also be applied to products sold in bulk and whether or not the consumer is actually saving money in buying the bulk product rather than the regular product or more than one of the regular product.\n\nAlso included in consumer awareness is how advertising and marketing is used in attracting a consumers' interest.  The consumer must look very carefully at any advertising to distinguish what kind of strategy the company is using and whether or not it is false advertising...also the consumer must be aware of how marketing is used in shopping centers and stores in order to attract a consumers' attention to a particular product.

I am a packaging engineer and I can probably shed some light on why the packaging is the way it is.  In the case of molded plastic shells around products like portable CD players and curling irons, two main factors are usually the reason.  First is cost.  Thermoformed plastic "clamshells" are cheap.  As most people know, companies are always looking for ways to save a buck.  Second is theft prevention.  With those large clamshell packages it is hard to just walk out of a store with a stolen product, and since you can't get into it very easily, you can't take the product out of the package to walk out of the store.  Luckily, there are new features being built into many of those clamshell packages that make them easier to open.

ADVANTAGES\n\n1) It allows a supplier to be innovative and develop economy in his processes because he can count on long-term business with a purchaser. \n\n2) Operational advantages.  Two suppliers can both produce excellent materials, but there will be differences between the two.  A change in material from one vendor to another causes a loss in time. \n\n3) Lot-to-lot variation from any one supplier is usually enough to give fits to manufacturing.  It is reasonable to expect that variation between lots from two suppliers will give even more trouble. \n\n4) Simplification of accounting and paperwork from decrease in number of suppliers and fewer shipping points.\n\n5) When you can count on quality parts then less time and money is spent on inspection of parts received.  \n\nDISADVANTAGES\n\n(1) May limit an organization’s flexibility and agility. While a long-term plan is required to achieve a complete quality transformation, but a long-term plan that has been pursued for a long period may become an end unto itself. \n\n(2) It calls for organizational change, it does not demand radical organizational reform. Real quality improvement requires radical structural change, such as flattening organizational structures. It requires liberation of employees from stifling control systems and the tyranny of functionalism, both of which stifle teamwork.\n\n(3) It  delegates the determination of quality to quality experts rather than to "real" people.  It takes what is common sense to the ordinary worker and makes it sound complicated by changing the name and dressing it up with technical language.\n\n(4) It calls for the elimination of performance assessments that rate employees in relation to each other.  Many managers feel performance assessments let them document employee performance for possible reward, but some employees fear the assessments might be used against them in some disciplinary actions. Performance assessments may give employees with grievances the documentation they need to prove managers are treating them unfairly. Without them, managers could make unfair accusations about an employee’s performance and the employee would not have the documentation to counter the claims.\n\n(5) It focuses manager attention on internal processes rather than on external results. When this is taken to an extreme, managers may become too preoccupied with internal issues and ignore the shifting perceptions of customers.

I supply employees to a lot of manufacturers in Toronto and I just looked on my directory for Ontario.  Alcan does paper packaging and metal cans. Or Canfab Packaging in Montreal does Fibre cans, tubes and drums.  Or you could go to Bulk Barn and ask who their supplier is.

It all depends on the size & weight of the package.  USPS has limitations.  I usually give an option of UPS or Prority Mail and let the customer decide.  Priority mail is cheaper with lighter things and UPS cheaper for heavier things.  We're actually moving over to FedEx - it's cheaper.  Priority mail does have advantages sometimes because of the free boxes.  Advice is that you should charge the customer for shipping and add a small handling fee if you can't make enough profit on the item itself.  The problem isn't your shipping costs, it's the item you're selling.  Investigate other items!

Sothat the pills don't get damaged during shipping and handling.\n\nMost bottles are not totally full(why is that??)So they need to fill up the empty space.

It allows space for you to get the pizza out of the box without tearing said box up. Also, it would be nearly impossible to fold a circular box...The box would have to be two pieces, like a hat box, and that would make it more likely to come open when you don't want it to, or to let out heat so the pizza gets cold quicker. All this, not to mention that the square boxes are just easier and cheaper to make.

Consumers demand for products that give convenience and quality at the lowest cost.  These are very subjective criteria, in a competitive market, suppliers are pressured to give better products to outsell the existing top brands.  Product awareness and reach is now not enough to sustain market supremacy specially because through the internet one can easily find the latest product offerings every now and then.  To compete, suppliers have to continually innovate either the product itself or to improve the process of making it and delivering it to the customer. \n\nIt's a tough market nowadays!
