[edit] Commercial Links

This article should not have any commercial links in it. This is an informative encyclopedia article and not means of generating sales. Rlsheehan May 24, 2007

[edit] excelsior ??

Is "excelsior" really a common packaging material? I've never heard of it. Sound of seems like someone's attempt at inserting an advertisement. ike9898 20:12, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] packaging

This isn't really doing justice to "packaging". There's so much more that isn't covered here. How about military packaging, medical packaging, industrial packaging, etc. I think you get my point. Even under the list of packaging machines there's no mention of how they make paper packaging. I also didn't see any mention of corrugated or glass packaging. This article needs serious work if it's to be taken seriously.

[edit] Dead link

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

[edit] Packaging in car design

Packaging is also an important term in car design; it is basically the design step where all the innards of a new model are "packed" inside the design to the best possible effect, interior dimensions specified etc.--Cancun771 09:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] This Needs Expanding Badly

There are several colleges in the United States granting degrees in package engineering and almost every major corporation uses packaging or has a dedicated packaging group.

Can't someone take one of the well regarded textbooks/guides out there and crank out a 3-4 page summary that does this topic justice?

I know someone with above average writing skills is sitting at home with their copy of Fundamentals of Packaging, The Handbook of Packaging Techonology, The Fiber Box Handbook, The International Paper Pocket Pal, or The ASTM Guide To Selected Packaging Standards.....

I am thinking of un-redirecting the "Packaging Design" page and writing a (hopefully) decent article instead. I have already started the article structure (I could possibly post it here if someone could give me some feedback on it), but there is so much ground to cover... I currently do not have the time. But it's on my to-do list for several months now. I don't think "Packaging design" should be redirected to "packaging and labelling", it should be the other way around. Plus, I don't like how the present article is structured. It seems to stem in different directions (some of them seem to be related to Postal practices rather than Packaging Design), developing none of them to a satisfactory degree. So it seems easier and more practical to just start an article from scratch than to try and fix this one. 0cm 20:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

In April 2007, a user proposed merging Wrap rage into this article. I think it has some merit. Comments? Mdotley 03:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Wrap rage is a slang term for people's reaction to some packages. It does not belong in the packaging and labelling page. The article currently discusses easy-open packages and some reasons why they sometimes are not. Pkgx July 16, 07

[edit] Specification function

I have removed the addition of a function of specification. Specifications can involve the protection or barrier functions. The communication function indicates which level is met. Rlsheehan August 10, 2007

[edit] The purposes of packaging and package labels

A large part of my packaging course is the use of the packaging functions/enviroments grid from Lockhart, H. E. (1997). "A Paradigm for Packaging". Packaging Technol. 10: 237-252.  for package design and evaluation. Is this widespread for courses elsewhere? Not that there is any wrong with the current list, but if the packaging grid is widely taught than it would make sense to re-organise using standard terms. BeamerNZ (talk) 22:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Several authors have lists of packaging functions, each parsed a little differently. Feel free to offer any specific recommended changes or expansions. Rlsheehan (talk) 14:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Recycle-resin-logos-lr 01.png

Image:Recycle-resin-logos-lr 01.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
