Critical parameters in selecting the most appropriate packaging for soap and detergent products are reviewed. Included among these parameters are package strategy, features required for consumer utilization, competitive products, cost limitations, availability of materials having adequate chemical resistance to product, overall dimensions and construction details, machinability of selected design, pallet pattern or shipping configuration, physical strength of individual package and outer case, ability to withstand storage and handling rigors. Guidelines and criticality tests are reviwed briefly as tools for evaluating and projecting the effect of a given parameter on acceptability of the finished package.
