In doing so, packaging gives protection from three major classes of external influences i.e. physical, chemical, and biological. Chemical protection will minimize compositional changes triggered by environmental influences like light, moisture and gas. Many different packaging materials will provide a chemical barrier. Glass and metals will provide an absolute barrier to chemical and other environmental agents. Closure devices may contain materials which allow minimal levels of permeability. Plastic packaging gives a large range of barrier properties. But it is more permeable than glass or metal. Appropriate physical packaging also protects consumers from different hazards. For example, child-resistant closures hamper access to many dangerous products.
