Packaging is a silent but effective marketing tool. The packaging is the first thing that customers see, and it can make or break the sale. A well-packaged product is more likely to be purchased by customers as it gives them the assurance that the product is of high quality.

It is normal to make mistakes. However, try to minimize your mistakes as much as possible because some mistakes can be very costly. In farming, a mistake could lead to the loss of an entire crop or the death of livestock. These losses can be very difficult to recover from.
