Morphology

packaging + concern

This phrase is directly compositional: 'packaging' names the activity or service and 'concern' means a company or business, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a company that does packaging. The noun–noun/attributive pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically straightforward, making the meaning predictable from the constituents.

Etymology

Packaging concern comes from business speech where packaging names the job and concern means a company. Picture a small factory where people wrap and box items — that business is a packaging concern, so the phrase means 'a company that packages goods for sale, shipment, or storage'.
