6. Packaging engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaging_engineering

   Engineers develop packages from a wide variety of rigid and flexible materials. Some materials have scores or creases to allow controlled folding into package shapes (sometimes resembling origami [3]). Packaging involves extrusion, thermoforming, molding and other processing technologies. Packages are often developed for high speed fabrication ...
