Packaging engineering is the process of creating things that hold and protect other things, like products that you buy at the store. Have you ever bought a toy from the store that came in a box? The box is the packaging.
Packaging engineers design and test different types of packaging to make sure that they keep the product safe and in good condition. They think about things like the shape and size of the product, how much it weighs, and how it will be shipped and stored.
Packaging engineers also think about how to make the packaging eco-friendly, which means it helps the environment. For example, they might design packaging that can be recycled or made from biodegradable materials.
Overall, packaging engineering is like making a really good superhero suit for a product to make sure it stays safe while it goes from the factory to the store and all the way to your house.
