“Six Concepts” Helps Plastic Food Packaging to Be More Competitive

Aseptic packaging

Aseptic packaging accounts for a large proportion of food packaging. For example, small bags of sterile milk are cheaper, the product has good flavor, and it is stored at room temperature for a long time. Manufacturers and consumers welcome this packaging product. It not only overcomes the limitation of the production area, but also removes the cold chain required in the transportation process, which is conducive to market expansion. According to statistics, liquid food aseptic packaging exceeds 70%, and the annual consumption of carton aseptic packaging is more than 100 billion. At present, there are more than 3,000 sets of aseptic packaging equipment in China, with an annual production capacity of more than 1.5 million tons. With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for convenience foods is bound to increase greatly, which will certainly promote the further development of aseptic packaging.

2. Green packaging

Green packaging refers to packaging that is environmentally friendly, harmless to human health, and capable of recycling and recycling. Today, people are extremely concerned about the ecological environment, and green packaging of food has become a necessity. According to experts' prediction, green food will dominate the world market in the next 10 years, while green packaging is a passport for green food among consumers. It is of great significance for shaping green food brands.

3. Functional packaging

With the rapid development of packaging technology, in recent years, a number of new packaging products with unique functions and various varieties have been developed at home and abroad. It is refreshing and has attracted the attention of consumers and the attention of operators. Recently, the US FDA has approved the use of a UV blocker in US food packaging. Fluorescent lamps in sunlight and warehouses contain UV light, and the UV blocker added to transparent PET packaging materials effectively blocks UV rays and prevents any changes in color, smell, taste and nutritional value of the contents of the package. Transparent packaging materials allow consumers to understand the quality and appearance of the product. A Japanese company has introduced an anti-corrosion paper that can be used for food packaging. It is made by immersing the base paper in an ethanol solution containing 20% ​​succinic acid, 33% sodium succinate and 0.07% sorbic acid, followed by drying. The food containing the marinade is packaged in this paper and can be stored at 38 ° C for 3 weeks without deterioration.

4. Smart packaging

Smart packaging is usually made up of functional packaging materials such as photoelectric temperature sensitivity, humidity sensitivity, and gas sensitivity. It can display some important parameters such as temperature and humidity, pressure, degree of sealing and time of the packaging space. This is a very promising feature package. Sichuan Haodong High-Tech Co., Ltd. recently successfully developed a novel anti-counterfeiting packaging film. The advantage of such a security packaging film is that it is colorless and transparent, and does not affect the pattern on the packaging bags, cartons, iron boxes, and glass bottles of the product. Under illumination, laser holograms and text that cannot be counterfeited can be clearly displayed. If it is used in the automated packaging production line of goods, the overall anti-counterfeiting effect of the product can be made more ideal. The novel anti-counterfeiting packaging film is a colorless plastic film and generally has a thickness of 10 to 100 microns.

5. Convenient packaging

The convenience of food packaging is also an aspect that cannot be ignored in the development of food packaging. Consumers need to open and seal more convenient packaging, but also need food packaging to bring more convenience to life. Convenience is a new development trend in food packaging. In order to facilitate the consumption of consumers, the use of light energy, chemical energy and metal oxidation principle, so that food can be automatically heated or automatically cooled in a short time, to meet the needs of outdoor workers, tourists, the elderly and children.

6. Personalized packaging

With the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, similar products are becoming more and more homogenized. The competition among enterprises has been transformed into the competition of image power in a certain sense. Design is not only a simple visual stimulus, but more importantly, creating In the design of information design with the design product, the law of color emotions is skillfully applied, and the suggestive effect of color is fully exerted, which can attract consumers' wide attention and interest.
