Sekundærpakning

Sekundærpakning, also known as secondary packaging, refers to the layer of packaging that directly contains one or more primary packages. The primary package is the layer that is in direct contact with the product itself, such as a bottle, can, or blister pack. Secondary packaging serves several important functions, including providing additional protection for the product during transit and handling, offering a larger surface area for branding and product information, and facilitating the grouping of multiple primary packages into a single unit for easier distribution and sale.

Common examples of secondary packaging include cardboard boxes that hold multiple cans of soda, shrink-wrapped plastic trays containing yogurt cups, or the outer cardboard sleeve for a multi-pack of toothpaste. This type of packaging is crucial for logistics, marketing, and consumer convenience. It helps to prevent damage to individual items, makes it easier for retailers to stock shelves, and provides space for essential details like ingredients, usage instructions, and promotional messages. The design and materials used for secondary packaging are often chosen to optimize for these various purposes, balancing cost, durability, and environmental impact. It plays a vital role in the overall supply chain and consumer experience of a product.
