Two things that packaging companies need to make a good product are simple but difficult:

[Chinese Packaging Network News] 1. Understanding the characteristics of food and determining the required protection conditions is essential for effective packaging.

First, it's important to analyze the main components and properties of different types of food. This includes understanding the internal chemical and biological reactions that may occur during processing, storage, and transportation. These reactions can be either non-biological (such as oxidation or enzymatic changes) or biological (like microbial spoilage or physical degradation).

Second, we need to identify the factors that affect the stability of key food components such as fats, proteins, and vitamins. These factors include light exposure, oxygen levels, temperature fluctuations, microbial activity, and mechanical stress. By studying these elements, we can better predict how food will behave under various conditions.

Only when a soft packaging manufacturer fully understands the biological and environmental factors affecting packaged food can they make informed decisions about the right materials and processes to use. This ensures that the packaging not only preserves the flavor and quality of the product but also enhances its market value.

2. Researching and mastering the performance of packaging materials is equally important. There are numerous types of packaging materials, each with unique properties and applications. To select the most suitable options, manufacturers must thoroughly understand the performance characteristics of each material, including their strength, barrier properties, flexibility, and compatibility with different food types.

For example, foods that undergo high-temperature sterilization require packaging materials that can withstand heat without degrading, while frozen foods need materials that remain flexible and durable at low temperatures. Choosing the right packaging not only protects the product but also contributes to cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

In addition, modern packaging solutions often integrate multiple functions, such as freshness indicators, tamper-evident features, and eco-friendly designs. These innovations help meet both consumer expectations and regulatory standards, making packaging an integral part of the entire food supply chain.
