For a long time, people have known how to use naturally available materials such as leaves, bark, and tree trunks to preserve products. These were early types of packaging and some are still used today such as leaves used to wrap cakes. Over time, with the development of science and technology, people have learned to use many different types of materials to make packaging.
At the beginning, materials available in nature were mostly only used to contain solid products. But when the need for liquid products arose, they needed a new material and from there ceramic packaging was born to meet this need. Although it has many disadvantages, for society at that time, this was a very good type of packaging that promoted features such as not harming food, being easy to use and not causing pollution to the environment
To solve some limitations of ceramic packaging, glass packaging was born. This type can be recycled, but it pollutes the environment and at that time recovery was also difficult. Glass bottles that are not recovered will become non-degradable waste in the environment, affecting the land
Over time, people discovered another type of material that could be used to make packaging: plastic. The advent of plastic packaging has met many different types of products that traditional packaging cannot. To this day, it is an irreplaceable part of human life, contributing greatly to socio-economic development, making the circulation of goods much easier.
Not only used for storage, today it is used as an effective way of advertising with little investment cost for businesses, bringing very high efficiency because it can reach consumers.
