It is not permissible to work in a factory that produces packaging for wine if the questioner's work is directly related to the production of that small, specific portion designated for wine packaging. However, if his work is not connected to that, or if the portion is not distinct and can be used for other purposes, then there is no harm in it. The general principle is the permissibility of producing and selling what can be used for both permissible and impermissible purposes, unless it is known with certainty that it will be used for something impermissible.
