Packaging Glossary: Decoding the (sometimes confusing) language of packaging

The packaging sector is filled with specialist terminology and for those who aren’t immersed in it every day, it can sometimes be difficult to understand the technical language used. At Alexir Partnership, we work with a variety of packaging materials, processes and printing techniques and use industry-specific terms to define each.

To make things simpler, we’ve put together a packaging glossary to clarify and explain some of the most commonly used packaging and print terms so you can decode the jargon and navigate the packaging industry like an expert.
