包装是商品的重要组成部分，适度包装有保护商品、便于储运、利于计量、提高附加值等作用，可如今过度包装的盛行却让包装“变了味儿”。一层又一层的包装不仅增加了商品成本，制造的大量固体垃圾还加剧了污染问题。
Packaging waste equals to about one-third of all trash, costing governments billions of dollars each year in disposal expenses.
包装垃圾约占垃圾总量的三分之一，每年各国政府都要为此花费数十亿美元处理这些垃圾。
Packaging pollutions often become the subjects of heated debates. While the eco-minded consumers want it to be as minimal as possible (meaning, fully recyclable), manufacturers often fire back that they don’t want their products to start decomposing in the store or become an easy target to shoplifters. And while some of their arguments have reasons behind them, a lot of the time packaging is needlessly excessive.
包装污染是公众经常热议的话题。虽然环保主义消费者希望尽可能减少污染（采用完全可回收的包装），但厂家通常反驳称，他们不希望自己的产品在商店里就开始腐烂，或者成为便于小偷下手的目标。尽管厂家的说法也有些道理，但很多时候包装都是多余的。
Do we really need a pill to be wrapped in three layers of plastic? Or, better yet, casings for coke cans?
我们真的需要给一粒药片包上三层塑料吗？还有更厉害的，连罐装可乐都要再套个盒？

Wrap rage, also called package rage, is the common name for heightened levels of anger and frustration resulting from the inability to open hard-to-open packaging. Consumers suffer thousands of injuries per year, such as cut fingers and sprained wrists, from tools used to open packages and from packaging itself, and in some cases damage the items they are trying to free from packaging.
Wrap rage或package rage均指遇到很难打开的物品包装时不断加剧的愤怒和挫败感，即“包装怒”或“开箱怒”。每年都有数千起消费者受伤事件是由开启包装的工具或物品外包装导致的，伤情包括手指被割伤或者手腕扭伤，而在有些情况下，人们在打开包装的过程中还会导致里面的物品损毁。
