Food packaging
Food packaging development started with humankind’s earliest beginnings. Early forms of packaging ranged from gourds to sea shells to animal skin. Later came pottery, cloth and wooden containers. These packages were created to facilitate transportation and trade.
Utilizing modern technology, today’s society has created an overwhelming number of new packages containing a multitude of food products. A modern food package has many functions, its main purpose is to protect the product during transport. The package also acts as a barrier against potential spoilage agents, which vary with the food product. For example, milk is sensitive to light; therefore, a package that provides a light barrier is necessary. The milk carton is ideal for that. Other foods like potato chips are sensitive to air because the oxygen in the air causes rancidity. The bags containing potato chips are made of materials with oxygen-barrier properties. Practically all foods should be protected from filth, microorganisms, moisture and objectionable odors. We rely on the package to offer that protection.
Aside from protecting the food, the package serves as a vehicle through which the manufacturer can communicate with the consumer. Nutritional information ingredients and often recipes are found on a food label. The package is also utilized as a marketing tool designed to attract your attention at the store. This makes printability an important property of a package.
The food industry utilizes four basic packaging materials: metal, plant matter (paper and wood), glass and plastic. A number of basic packaging materials are often combined to give a suitable package.
After making a food product and placing it in the appropriate package, a number of these individual packages must be placed in a large container to facilitate shipment. These larger containers are called secondary packages. The paperboard box is a very common secondary package. Plastics also can serve as secondary packages. The milk case in which a number of milk cartons are delivered to the supermarket is a good example.
There are many interesting packaging concepts being explored by the industry to keep up with the changing life style of the consumer and new technologies. Many professionals are involved in designing and manufacturing the modern package. Today's package is designed with the consumer's safety and convenience in mind. Examples are microwaveable popcorn packages, squeezable ketchup bottles and the tamper-proof milk bottle cap.
