Abstract
It is axiomatic to the food scientist that the product consists of the container plus the foodstuff. These two components interact at so many points that consideration of one without the other is almost certain to lead to costly and time-consuming errors in the product development process. Design of the package should be initiated at the same time as the foodstuff development project begins, and both components should be regarded as parts of a single product, with timely and satisfactory completion of both an essential goal.
