However, recently packing has become an indispensable aspect of marketing. Because, packing is considered as a silent dealer which directly reaches consumers.

In addition to its protective function, packing also performs functions such as selling and communication Recently, firms have begun attaching great importance on packing investments.

Therefore, it is required to take a risk of increasing the packing costs for increasing sales. Increasing packing cost is an important factor of prices.
