How do you describe the importance of packaging in terms of transferring and protecting of products? Does a good packing affect the shelf life of foods?

Correct food packaging should be able to meet the three important functions of the packaging, which are protection, promotion and ease of use at the same time. Similarly, the shelf life of a product is directly linked to the product’s packaging and correct storage conditions.

With proper packaging, you can extend the shelf life of a food product or, on the contrary, you may reduce the shelf life of a food product due to a poorly designed packaging structure or poor quality packaging production.

At this point, the cooperation between the food manufacturer and the packaging manufacturer and the joint work on the selection of the right packaging structure is extremely important. Naturally, the food producer may turn to more cost-effective packaging structures in order to reduce packaging costs. The responsibility of the packaging manufacturer is to explain to the food manufacturer all the positive or negative aspects of the different food packaging structures that may be used.

We are now able to change many known packaging structures through R & D studies and provide higher barrier properties than previously possible with much finer packaging structures.

For example, as Pal Plastik, we develop packages which can provide the same puncture and blow-up resistance in R & D laboratories in thinner structures and produce these structures with oxygen, gas and UV barrier.
