Significado
Requesting food to be packaged to be taken away.
Contexto cultural
Asking for leftovers to be packed is highly common and seen as practical. Restaurants will often provide high-quality plastic containers even for small amounts of food. Due to environmental regulations, cafes cannot give plastic cups to customers dining in. If you say '포장해 주세요', they will give you a disposable cup, but you must leave the premises. When you 'pojang' a large order, it's common to receive a 'service' (free) drink or extra side dish as a thank you for the business. At street stalls (Pojangmacha), 'pojang' is the default. The food is often put in a plastic bag, which is then wrapped in newspaper to keep it warm.
The 'Leftover' Nuance
If you are asking for leftovers, add '좀' (jom - a little/please) to sound more natural: '포장 좀 해 주세요'.
Eco-Rules
If you say 'pojang' at a cafe, don't sit down at a table. It's against the law in Korea to use disposable cups while sitting inside.
