Consumer electronics packaging is a protective covering for the products to ensure safe and secure shipping. Packaging is crucial, as electronic products have very tiny components that are delicate and prone to damage, It is used to protect the electronics from mechanical damage, electrostatic charge, natural disasters, and mishandling damage. Any electronic device intended for end users' or consumers' daily and non-commercial or professional use is known as consumer electronics (CE). The main types of products in consumer electronics packaging includes corrugated boxes, paperboard boxes, thermoformed trays, bags and pouches, blister packs and clamshells, protective packaging, and others. The corrugated boxes are used as packaging materials for a variety of goods such as food, stationery, electronics, medicine, etc. Corrugated boxes refer to cartons that are made up of a few layers of material instead of just a single sheet-like cardboard. Usually, three layers are present in corrugated boxes, which are stuck together to form a single sheet. The different technologies include active packaging, intelligent packaging, modified atmospheric packaging, anti-microbial packaging, aseptic packaging, and others. The various material types include plastic, paper, paperboard, and others that are used in mobile phones, computers, TVs, DTH and set-top boxes, music systems, printers, scanners, and photocopy machines, game consoles and toys, camcorders and cameras, and others.
