What Is Packaging Simplified?

A Packtivate knowledge initiative designed to bring clarity to packaging

Packaging Simplified is a knowledge-driven initiative by Packtivate Private Limited, created to demystify packaging concepts and make them easy to understand, apply, and implement.

Packaging today sits at the intersection of design, material science, logistics, sustainability, and consumer experience. Through Packaging Simplified, we break down complex packaging ideas into clear, practical insights that help businesses make informed decisions across the packaging value chain.
