Why Packaging is
Necessary
Popcorn
containers are a necessity to give you properly enclosed and encased popcorn so
that you can take the box with you anywhere. The boxes are usually square in shape and are made up of cardboard or corrugated
cardboard. Before the invention of popcorn bags in the early 1900’s, popcorn
bags were employed but because of their nuisance at the theaters, popcorn boxes were introduced. This
very invention freed movie goers from the noisy frustration, thus the boxes
proved themselves to be a successful invention. The viewers enjoyed their
snacks ate the movie theaters without creating any noisy, distracting
disturbance. By the mid of twentieth century, popcorn and movie were
coherently bonded together, the bonding was so much intact and strong that even
today, the lasting relationship is evident and cannot be denied.
Thus by 1945, the first popcorn box was introduced
before the people, the process was basically initiated when the first Cracker
Jacks were made in the last decade of 19th century. This very invention laid
the foundation and the basis of the cardboard popcorn containers. The boxes
were made up of cardboard and corrugated cardboard, a reliable material that
will support the light-weighed popcorn. These popcorn containers were
available in limited sizes and with a definite printing of alternate red and
white lines. However, as the process of transformation continued, these boxes
were also revived in their sizes and designs. Favor popcorn cardboard boxes
were introduced for personalization purposes. The companies were given complete
freedom to decide different features of the box; they can adjust the size,
color, printing design, patterns, and other characteristics according to their
own priorities. Cardboard material is really suitable for containing popcorn
because the material is not only durable but is environment-friendly. The boxes
are stronger than the previously used paper bags and were helpful for the
consumers. The very material is good to be used for carrying around without the
danger of spillage.
Popcorn

behavior of human race that he or she is always attracted by the outward
appearance. The first thing that strikes your vision is the appearance, if this
exterior is attractive and capturing only then you will be impelled to purchase
the product, otherwise, it is gone unnoticed. Popcorn packaging boxes should be
designed in a way that is tempting to the eyes of the customer, something that
directs their decision. The packaging should invite the customers so that they are
forced to admit and cherish the beautiful appearance of the popcorn.
