CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1      BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Packaging is a very important aspect of the product mix. It is conspicuously apparent in the fact that the physical product will not have been without it. Packaging is as important as the product itself, perhaps, this is why McCarthy (1978) assorted that in some cases the packaging decision may be more important than the physical product decision. 
Packaging creates benefit in terms of protection, promotion, convenience, segmentation, economy, etc it helps to protect the product from deterioration. A good packaging design is good for impute buyer.

According to station (1980), packaging is the general group of activities in producing the container or wrapper of a product. It is about all activations that combine several operations and enables the producer of a product to deliver a finished or near finished product to a selling organization of a final consumers. 
A packaging can range from the simple cellophane paper used to rap up plantain chips to a sophisticated colorful cardboard carton for cameras and television sets and computer. In the ancient time, leaves, earthen-ware and shells probably made up the earliest forms of packaging.

For packaging to make effective contribution to a company goals, it needs intelligent leadership, top management support and the support of every department as well as members of the organization. 
The important of packaging cannot be over emphasis, the package of a company product bear communicate the image of the company to the public. In Nigeria today, salesmen package them selves to gain acceptance from the customer.

How will you feel seeing a young man pushing a cart full of apples, neat trousers and a tie to match? Fancy it?

Well, that is his own of selling apples. You will not be surprised seeing the high and mighty stopping over to buy from him. You are how you present (packages) your self. If a customer wart to buy from you, he will first have to buy the image you package. You package yourself if you want to succeed. 
The man and women, who succeed in this contemporary world today, are not really those who know it, but they are those who package themselves properly.

There are three levels of packages-primary package, secondary package and the shipping package. This will be discuss in the later chapter today, due to the important role packaging play some authors make bold to call it another variable of the marketing mix (product, promotion place, price). Various factors account for the growing recognition of packaging as an independent and potent selling tools. 
Such factors are self-service, consumer affluence company and brand image and innovation opportunity, these will be discuss in the later chapters.

1.2   STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

All companies have one objective or another pursue it might be profit or survival in order to achieve these objectives, companies involved in packaging which help to facilitate the achievement of these objectives.

A cursory look at the entire business reveal that not much have been done or said on how to boost formulated programmes for more effectiveness. It is this reason that arouse the interest of this researcher to carryout his project.

Hence the problem of this study put in the question from, is of what importance is packaging as a tool for the implementation of a company marketing programme?
