Tertiary packaging has to remain stable
while ensuring that minimal
space is used to store goods and
protect the products from the
environment.

Simply put, tertiary packaging enables


more secondary packaging to be
handled and moved on mass and at
scale.

It should also be able to leverage the


abilities of machinery, like pallet jacks,
forklifts etc.

So, why are the distinctions between levels


of packaging so important?

Because packaging is important, no matter


what packaging types you’re talking about.
When you’re creating a packaging strategy,
it’s important to consider how all 3 levels of
packaging will impact your product’s
survival. Primary packaging is critical for
branding and protection on the shelves.
Secondary packaging is critical for
protection and branding during transit. How
your packaging looks tells consumers a
great deal about your product and your
business. Everything from the logo to the
shape, the size , and the colours are
important.
