Morphologies


    Main morphologies of packaging: structural typologies, formal configurations, and design solutions adopted within packaging systems.

    The analysis of morphologies enables observation of how form, structure, and the articulation of components influence functional performance, product protection, logistical dynamics, and user interaction. 

    Considered in relation to materials, production processes, and design strategies, morphologies represent a key dimension for understanding the evolution of packaging solutions and the transformations currently affecting the packaging sector.

    Bundle
    A secondary packaging style where two or more individual units (primary containers) are grouped together to form a single sales or handling unit. In the case of shrink wrapping, it specifically refers to Shrink-wrapped Multipack (or Banding), where a plastic film is heat-shrunk around the items to provide stability, protection, and ease of transport without the need for a rigid outer box.
    Fardello
    Tipologia di imballaggio secondario che raggruppa due o più unità singole (contenitori primari) in un’unica unità di vendita o movimentazione. Nel caso specifico del confezionamento con film termoretraibile, si definisce Fardello (o Multipack termoretratto). Questa soluzione garantisce la stabilità del carico e la protezione delle unità individuali, facilitandone il trasporto e lo stoccaggio senza l’impiego di contenitori rigidi esterni (come le scatole di cartone ondulato).
