[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] 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)
