How to use 포장 naturally
Quick answer
The Korean word for “Packaging” is 포장, romanized as Pojang.
Usage tip

Do not rely only on the English meaning. Read the Korean example sentence and notice the particles, word order, and politeness level around 포장.
Pronunciation Guide
포 (po) sounds like 'po' in 'pot' but with a softer 'o' sound, similar to 'pour' without the 'r'. 장 (jang) sounds like 'jang' in 'jangly'. The stress is fairly even across both syllables.
