Packaging innovations might be innovative in different ways; it could be simple communication or a functional innovations, may be its innovation in graphics or sometimes in the type of material, But you are right that in any case, it should not compromise the quality of the product packed and the first thing it should offer is the protection to products to meet the optimum qulaity followed by the cost and convenience to open.Opening the packs and using them rightly could be nightmare many a times. in fact its my continuous issue everytime I travel in India and try to open the coffee sachets in my room. Even the coffee sachets are by the great companies like Nestle and TATA but they need the scissors to open them, why can't they think about the convenience for the consumer so that they will appreciate them every morning
