Do you want to choose the right packaging for your new product?
Do you want to strengthen your existing product as part of your marketing strategy and consider the alternatives to your current packaging?
Creating or selecting a food package is partly art and partly science. Both are significant and go hand in hand. Besides, designers must evaluate the technology push, market pull and socioeconomics carefully for successful packaging design.
To average consumers, food packaging is simply the enclosure of a food product in a plastic pouch, a metal can, or a glass bottle. To scientists or engineers, food packaging is a rather technical subject โ it is a coordinated system designed for the efficient delivery of high quality, safe food products throughout the supply chain and the shelf-life. However, for food entrepreneurs, food packaging is all the above and more. The packaging gives you innovative ways to reach your customers. It enables you to communicate with your consumers as a marketing tool. For more information, please contact Raphaelle at info@inewtrition.com

RIGHT PACKAGING
FOR YOUR PRODUCT

2. All products made of any materials
of any nature to be used for the
containment, protection, handling,
delivery and presentation of goods,
from raw materials to processed
goods, from the producer to the
user or the consumer including non-
returnable items used for the same
purposes. (Directive 94/ 62/EC)

3. MAIN FUNCTIONS OF FOOD PACKAGING
Containment: the ability of the packaging to
maintain its integrity during the handling
involved in filling, sealing, processing.
Protection: generally includes prevention of
biological contamination, moisture change,
aroma loss or gain, and physical damage.
Preservation: the establishment of a barrier
between the contained product and the
environment.
Convenience: providing convenience to the
consumer. Easy opening, easy handling, etc.
Communication: the information that a
package provides involves meeting both legal
requirements and marketing objectives.

4. CREATING A FOOD PACKAGE
โข Creating a food package is partly art and partly science โ both are significant and go hand in hand for the
development or selection of food packages and packaging systems.
โข Many commercial food packages are developed by empirical trial-and-error approach that leads waste of
time and sources. On the other hand, the practice of packaging art alone, with little consideration of the
relevant food or food packaging science, is one of the most common food packaging design mistakes and
frequently leads to ineffective designs and poor products.
TRIAL AND ERROR APPROACH WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
5. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY OF FOOD PACKAGING
collection and analysis
of data to study the
impact of food
packaging on the
changing society and
economy.

Examples
modified atmosphere packaging
aseptic packaging
microwavable packaging
Kinetics of food
deterioration
Mass transfer
phenomena
Stress-strain relationship
Mechanical strength, barrier properties,
appearance, and other physical and
chemical properties of packaging
materials
e.g. intelligent packaging
Technology push and market pull are particularly important concepts. Innovations in food packaging science
are pushed forward to seek market acceptance. Similarly, dynamics of socioeconomics create market needs
and the technology seeks solutions to satisfy those trends (e.g., microwavable food packages, concerns of
plastic waste, sustainable packaging alternativesโฆ).

7. EMERGING TRENDS IN FOOD PACKAGING
This type of packaging allows tracking several parameters like pH, time/temperature indicators,
fermentation, packaging integrity, gas composition, microbial growth to ensure freshness, flavour,
quality and maintain compliance with health standards.

The Japanese company To-
Genkyo added a bumper
sticker on their products as
freshness indicator. It changes
its color as more ammonia
releases. The bottom of the
hourglass appears gray when
it is not consumable.

9. The disposal issues of synthetic polymers and their carbon footprint is a growing concern among
consumers.
Bio-based plastics are made in whole or partially from renewable biological resources. For example,
sugar cane is processed to produce ethylene, which can then be used to manufacture for example
polyethylene. Similarly, starch can be processed to produce lactic acid and subsequently polylactic
acid (PLA).

forming biopolymers can be proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, or their mixture (composites).
