Extended product shelf life, product protection, convenience and durability are all qualities of reliable food packaging. Now, new packaging materials are really working hard to accommodate today’s changing ‘grab-and-go’ world.
Packaging has to be lightweight, durable and extend the shelf life of baked goods and snack foods throughout their distribution. Convenience is a must, too. Resealable containers, once considered innovative, are now commonplace. At the same time, smart or active packaging technology informs consumers that contents are sealed tightly. All these advances are designed to address consumers’ needs in a world where grab-and-go is becoming the norm.
