CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 Background of the researchPackaging can be explained as the process of safeguarding a product so that it can beused for the long period of time. In order to bring innovation in the selling process, packagingplays an essential role for attracting the consumer attention. It is the area through which acustomer’s forms an image in their mind towards a product. If the packaging of the product isattractive then it will effectively catch the attention of the customers (Loose, Pesche andGrebitus, 2013). With the help of this element, a product gets contained where it includeslabelling, shape, design and the use of material. Earlier, packaging was considered as the tool ofcontaining a product but with the implementation of different factors this step has been used forthe marketing and promotion of a product.
