Nearly 90% of all products manufactured in the world require the use of packaging. Their connections with modern technology and trade organization, their impact on the utilization of warehouse capacity and means of transport, as well as the protection of product quality, make it necessary to pay special attention to them.
In highly industrialized countries, the packaging industry occupies one of the leading positions among other fields of production. A high degree of specialization in the manufacturing of packaging materials, packaging design, and the development of packaging technologies and packaging machinery is observed there. The development of packaging production in Poland is of particular interest to: industry (mainly agri-food), domestic and foreign trade, and road, rail, and sea transport. The development of packaging production depends primarily on GDP growth and the quantity of goods produced, the intensification of new sales methods (self-service stores, supermarkets), the development of mechanization in the movement of goods in supply chains, and the drive to reduce quantitative and qualitative losses of goods in circulation.
