  • Protection from External Factors: Ensures items are shielded from potential damage during transportation or storage.

  • Ease of Handling: Proper packaging allows for easier stacking and movement.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Using the right materials can reduce the need for additional insurance or repairs.
