As a result, the product is more difficult to market and has a low selling value. To overcome the problems faced by MSMEs, the Technology Industry of Prining Packaging Department (TICK) in collaboration with partners (Pondok Cafe and Karang Taruna) carries out community service activities with the aim of: making packaging based on products, materials, designs, and packaging forms that are efficient and can be applied. by MSMEs. The science and technology program for the community is in the form of helping MSMEs in the Pulau Seribu  through partners and youth organizations in the Pulau Pramuka area to make packaging independently.

The output of this activity is the availability of primary packaging for candies’s seaweed products, driving the community's economy and increasing sales of partner products.
