The kosher sign is known as a hechsher stamp and is intended to show that the food marked with it is suitable for consumption by observant Jews. It's not needed, but you will see it on many Israeli products nevertheless. This is because the majority of foods originating in Israel will be marketed to Jewish people around the world, and many Jews eat only kosher or parve foods - kosher being those foods produced strictly according to the laws of kashrut and parve being those foods such as fruit and vegetables to which kosher laws do not apply. Palestinians in israel, many of whom are Muslim and will only eat halal food - halal being food approved by Islamic law - benefit from the kosher signs too, because any food deemed kosher is also halal.

Are there kosher requirements for food packaging?

As long as the utensils and machinery is uncontaminated the food is kosher. This only applies to food that was kosher to begin with. The most well known sign is OU, which is an U on a circle. Any food grade packaging companies like http://www.robertsonpackaging.com do not have any food in their production facilities as they are completely sterile so all packaging to start with is kosher, the only way this would change is if the company that filled the packaging used non kosher products in them.
