Packaging should be as large as possible while still protecting the finished item.

ATRUE

BFALSE

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The CIPS L3M6 syllabus advocates for efficient, socially responsible packaging that balances protection with resource conservation, making this statement false.

Packaging that's too big? Sounds like a recipe for a lot of wasted space and materials. Not very eco-friendly if you ask me.
