Packages help prevent class name conflicts by organizing classes into distinct namespaces.
Access Control
They allow controlled access to classes, interfaces, and members via access specifiers (public, protected, default, private).

Ease of Maintenance
Related classes are grouped logically, making it easier to locate, modify, or debug functionalities tied to a specific module.
