What is A Packaging Specialist?

Edmund Leonard said...a spec is not an epitaph written at the end of development, but a working communication for the use of the thing developed.. This is good food for thought for those of us in the packaging business and a good step in demonstrating the clear communication required between the packaging specialist and the manufacturer.


What is a packaging specialist? A technologist. Since nearly everything grown or made must be packaged for identity, product protection, distribution and marketing, there is a need for good people who use a common language.


From the process of idea generation to designs, models, samples and functional testing to a tentative spec, this working communication allows manufacturing and quality control people to do their jobs, by including quality criteria and levels required in the delivered materials.


This is simple sounding but difficult to communicate true understanding among dozens of people involved at the decision-making level in purchasing, selling, manufacturing, delivering, examining, and using a specified packaging material.
