Characteristics of packaging science
Packaging science is an interdisciplinary subject. Its interdisciplinarity is manifested in: First, the subject content is comprehensive system. Packaging science not only integrates and transforms the long-term packaging practice knowledge of humans into rational knowledge, but also integrates relevant knowledge from multiple disciplines into a disciplinary framework. Therefore, the theories and methods of packaging science are formed on the basis of integrating the theories and methods of multiple disciplines. Second, packaging science requires comprehensive analysis and balance in the study and solution of problems during packaging design and packaging management work. It is necessary to consider technological advancement, technological feasibility, and rationality. Therefore, relevant personnel must learn and master knowledge from multiple disciplines as much as possible for their own use. Packaging science is also a systems discipline. science uses systems perspectives to understand packaging, uses systems methods to analyze packaging, and uses systems knowledge and means to study packaging. Packaging science is also an applied discipline Packaging science is generated based on the continuous development of society and the continuous improvement of people's lives. It serves the development of commodity production, serves the domestic market and serves foreign economic and trade. That is to say, it provides theories, knowledge, and information about the use value of packaging for commodity packaging management departments and wide range of packaging users, promoting the correct improvement, development, and reasonable selection of commodity packaging. The research topics of packaging science come from the needs of production circulation, and consumption, and the research results are directly applied to all links of production, circulation, and consumption.
