Answer: Hi Rahul,
I appreciate the confidence in you of starting up your own business and being your own boss, but it is not that easy as you put it up in words. There is a lot of homework to be done behind the idea; it is not only for packaging business, but for any other type of business also.
First of all a starting a packaging business is an apprehensive task, if you are not very much sure of where you have to start. You can be successful in this business unless or until you know the nook and corner of the industry. First and foremost learn more about the industry. Analyze what is the requirement of the customers; this may help you to hit upon more ideas for starting your business. Keeping in mind the main motive of the business is essential. Here, in a packaging business you should be more focused on serving the customers by packing their goods for storage without damaging. It is important that you first prepare you’re to do list prior to commencing your packaging business. I am just listing out few points which would be helpful for you to know your priorities.

- Acquiring insurance
Apart from all this, analyzing the market and communicating with professionals by conducting short meetings is very important. You should always remember that the first thing the customer sees in a product is the packaging. In today’s business industry, you have plenty of people trying new ideas to capture the hearts of the customers.
