核心畫面

One way to hold this word: there is the thing, and then there is the layer around the thing. Packaging is that layer — the paper, the box, the plastic you take off before you can use what you bought. From that one picture the other uses grow: the layer itself, the work of putting the layer on, the whole industry that makes those layers, and, when what is wrapped is a person or a company, the image wrapped around them.

可以想成一張圖：中間是東西，外面有一層皮。packaging 講的就是那層皮。你買回家，得先把它撕掉，才碰得到裡面的…更多收起可以想成一張圖：中間是東西，外面有一層皮。packaging 講的就是那層皮。你買回家，得先把它撕掉，才碰得到裡面的商品。從這張圖可以長出好幾個意思。那層皮本身；把皮包上去的那道工序；做那些皮的整個行業。如果被包起來的不是商品，而是一個人或一家公司，那麼包在外面的形象，也用同一個字。

From the picture

包在人和公司外面的那層

把那層皮從商品身上移到人身上。名字、造型、廣告、說法，都是包在外面、讓人第一眼看到的東西。既然裡面沒變、外面換新，這個用法就常常帶一點「那只是表面」的味道。
