Why are products packaged in a way with so much space and air within them?

And why not just use a smaller packaging to save waste? (I’m talking about stuff like chips)

Potato Chips need that extra air to not only cushion them, to keep the chips from just crumbling to dust while being transported, but also to help keep them from going bad, as the nitrogen inside the bags is designed to keep them preserved until opened.

In many cases, the extra packaging has a reason, and generally it’s “to make sure it makes it from the factory to the store safely.”
