Secondary packaging is the term used to describe all the components of a prepackage that do not come into direct contact with the product. Essentially, these are labels, directions for use, and folding cartons.
It is typically made up of cardboard and plastic and often serves as a display mechanism in retail environments and can provide additional protection during transport. Common examples include cardboard cartons, cardboard boxes, cardboard/plastic crates, trays, paperboard cartons, trayed PET bottles held with shrink wrap, taped or glued cardboard cartons containing cans of food, cans inside a paperboard carton, etc.

Benefits of Secondary Packaging

- Retail Display: Attractive and functional secondary packaging can improve product visibility and attractiveness on retail shelves, driving sales
- Compliance: Secondary packaging often carries essential information needed for compliance with regulations, including handling instructions and safety warnings.
General and secondary packaging play crucial roles in the lifecycle of a product, from production to consumer use. Effective packaging ensures product integrity, enhances brand recognition, and provides critical information while also addressing sustainability concerns in modern packaging practices.
