paketoimalla

Paketoimalla is a Finnish verbal noun formed from the verb paketoida (to package). The -malla suffix marks the act or method as a means, so paketoimalla refers to the act, process, or method of packaging. In usage, the term functions as a noun describing packaging as a task or practice rather than the finished packaging itself.

In practical terms, paketoimalla is common in business and logistics contexts to denote packaging as a process. It can appear as part of phrases that describe how something is done, such as by stating the packaging method or quality: for example, “paketoimalla tuotteet huolellisesti” (by packaging the products carefully) or “paketoimalla ympäristöystävällisesti” (by packaging in an environmentally friendly way). The form emphasizes the means and procedure rather than the final packaged item.

Paketoimalla is distinct from the noun pakkaaminen, which more generally denotes the activity of packing. Paketoimalla often carries a sense of the specific method or approach used in packaging, and it may be used in formal, technical, or instructional writing. Grammatically, it behaves like a noun phrase that can be integrated into sentences with auxiliary verbs, adjectives, or other modifiers to describe packaging as a process.
