Packaging resources fall into a number of Library of Congress classification categories depending upon the packaging material (e.g., paperboard, plastics, glass, metal) or packaged product (e.g., food, pharmaceuticals, electronics), although HF and TS are the primary call number areas. While every effort has been made to be as inclusive as possible, some areas of interest (e.g., shipping and warehousing, packaging law and regulation) have been omitted because they are treated in other policy statements. Collection in most areas is at the instructional (3) or research level (4).
