On Over-packed Goods
In these days, when we walk into a supermarket or a shopping mall, we can find different kinds of commodities with beautiful packages. These goods, with splendid appearance, attract a lot of interest and sell well.
This phenomenon leads into a general discussion. It’s unnecessary to have the goods excessively packed. In order to hold a bigger market share, some companies come up with lots of strategies, packaging is among them. Goods become more attractive with beautiful packages, but their cost increased as well. It is the consumers who pay for the extra cost. In other word, the consumers have to buy a useless box when they actually want something else. At a higher level, the useless packaging leads to a waste of resources and results in the inefficiency of the society.
I think the most important character of a commodity is its quality. The beautiful package would be soon thrown into the dustbin—What a big waste! So next time, when you want to buy something, choose the one with higher quality instead of one with better package.
