Packaging and labelling of milk products
Packaging is very important when selling milk products. It helps to keep the
product clean, protect it from contamination, and make it last longer. Good
packaging also attracts customers. Every package should have a label. The label
must show the name of the product, the date it was prepared, and how to store it
properly.

Different dairy products require different types of packaging. For example, ghee
can be stored in a dry jar, while yoghurt needs a tightly sealed container. The
best packaging option depends on the product, the customer, and the storage
conditions available. These examples are shown in Table 9.3.
