As a summary, here are the 7 types of packaging:

  1. Paperboard (folding carton) boxes (commonly used in cosmetics/medical)
  2. Corrugated (cardboard) boxes (think shipping or moving boxes)
  3. Printed plastic boxes (see-through, recyclable)
  4. Rigid (gift/luxury) boxes (Apple iPhone box type)
  5. Chipboard packaging boxes (think cereal boxes)
  6. Poly bags (resealable/printable plastic bags)
  7. Foil-sealed bags (prevents damage from sunlight and better for maintaining at specific temperatures)
