Exactly, nobody makes a fuss about packaging engineers because the milk cartons they design cannot stop shrapnel. Making a design that is good enough for the users' expectations while being significantly faster and cheaper to manufacture than the alternative ones is what engineers do.

I'm not sure who actually designs packaging material. I mean, I've never heard of a packaging engineering degree.

A company designing packaging might hire structural (sub field of civil) or mechanical engineers I guess. If so, that means they're an engineer in my book.

Packaging engineers are a great example. Clearly the standards in that profession haven't made "press here to open" a trustworthy instruction.
