Food packaging plays an important role in
preserving the food items and keeping them fresh
for extended time period. It also enables the
sellers to present their products to the world in
the best way possible. Food packaging comes in

Food Packaging material options
5
When it comes to selecting food packaging for
products, you come across a huge range of
materials. Below are a few most commonly used
materials for food packaging

1. Tin or aluminum

7
From frizzy drink cans to oil boxes, you may find
many tin and aluminum made packages in the
supermarket. This packaging is quite durable and
long-lasting providing extended shelf life to
different types of beverages and other products.

2. Glass
9
You must have seen many glass jars on the
supermarket shelves preserving sauces and creamy
edibles. Glass is an effective material to keep
the content protected from getting spoiled due to
environmental factors. It doesnt allow air or
humidity to enter the jar and affect the taste or
look of the product sealed in it.

3. Paper
11
Paper is a great material for food packaging when
it comes to sealing the dry products such as
cereals, biscuits, and tea. Paper packaging is
also pretty cheap and easy to handle due to
lightweight.

4. Plastic
13
Plastic is widely recommended for food packaging
because it can be recycled pretty easily. This
environment-friendly material is used to seal the
dry as well as liquid products. From water and
beverage bottles to chips packs, a lot of food
packaging is done by using plastic.

5. Cardboard
15
Another most common type of food packaging is
cardboard packaging. This material is used to
create cartons and small boxes to seal the dry
food. Cardboard packages are also widely used to
serve hot burgers and pizzas because this
material keeps the items warm through insulation.
While selecting food packaging, there are many
factors one must consider to choose a right
option. For instance

1. Protection

17
Some products are quite delicate and require
proper packaging for preservation. They might
require air in the package to stay fresh for the
extended time. Also, make sure that you choose
packages with great seal options to confine the
product well.

2. Temperature control
19
Food products requiring cool temperature for
preservation must have a packaging that can
endure refrigeration. You may go with plastic or
coated packages as they keep it up well with the
moist environment of cooling systems.

3. Transportation
21
If your products are transported in a rough
manner, make sure you opt for a packaging durable
enough to endure the transportation process. But
if products will be transferred to stores in a
more delicate way, you may opt for fragile
material like glass.

Food packaging plays an important role in selling
and preserving the products. You just have to
make sure that you get in touch with the right
food packaging wholesaler according to your
