Packaging is the process of the casing and protecting products available for sale, distribution, end-use, and storage. The rigid plastics are most toughened plastics used in varied applications for packaging products or materials. They are highly preferred for industrial purpose due to properties such as easily moldable, light in weight, non-corrosive, and cheap. Rigid plastic packaging is particularly used to increase the shelf life of the product. Plastic packaging includes different types such as ampules, bottles, aluminum bottles, cans, jars, corrugated cases, and aerosol containers.
