How to do a good job in food packaging?

Food packaging is a system engineering with food as the core, which involves food science, food packaging materials and containers, food packaging technology methods, food packaging technology and equipment,

Design and decoration, standards and regulations, quality control, etc.

To do a good job in food packaging:

1. Master food science knowledge

Understand the characteristics of the food itself and the conditions of protection it requires. First of all, we should understand the main ingredients and characteristics of food and their possible internal reactions in the process of processing, storage and transportation; secondly, we should study the sensitive factors affecting the main ingredients in food, determine the protection conditions; decide the packaging materials and packaging technology to choose.

2. Research and master the performance, application scope and conditions of packaging materials

There are many kinds of packaging materials with different performances. Only by fully understanding the packaging performance of packaging materials and containers can we choose packaging materials that can not only protect the quality of food, but also reflect its value and have reasonable packaging costs.

3. Master the relevant packaging technology methods

For a given food, in addition to selecting appropriate packaging materials and containers, appropriate packaging techniques should also be used. Packaging technology is the key to food packaging, and it also reflects the technical level and economic strength of an enterprise. The selection of packaging technology is closely related to the selection of packaging materials.

4. Research and understand the market positioning and circulation area conditions of commodities

Different countries and different levels of consumption have different packaging and decoration requirements. Different modes of transportation have different requirements for the protection of packaging. The nature of the packaging material itself will change under different climatic conditions. There are differences in cultural customs in different regions. These must be considered when packaging.

5. Research and understand the overall structure of packaging and the impact of packaging materials on food

It is necessary to understand the migration of ingredients such as additives in packaging materials into food, and the impact of certain components in food on the quality of food in the circulation process such as penetration and absorption into packaging containers.

6. Carry out reasonable packaging structure and decoration design

We should try our best to make the packaging structure reasonable, save materials, save transportation space and conform to the trend of the times, and avoid excessive packaging and deceptive packaging.

7. Master packaging testing methods

The detection of packaging materials or containers, such as the detection of oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor transmission rate of packaging materials or containers, the detection of pressure resistance, tear resistance strength and embrittlement temperature of packaging materials. The drop, pressure, impact and other inspections of packages.

8. Master packaging standards and regulations

Standardization and normalization run through the entire packaging operation process to ensure the smooth progress of the raw material supply, packaging operations, and commodity circulation of packaging.
