THEME 1. OVERVIEW

1.1. Definitions3

For consumers “Food packaging is the enclosure of a food product in a plastic pocuh,

a metal can, or glass bottle”1

For scientists and engineers “Is a coordinated system designed for the efficient delivery of high

technical quality, safe food products throughout every phase of the supply chain, from raw material, production to food manufacture, packing, retail, wholesale, consumer use, disposal and recycling or other means of resource recovery”1

1. Dong Sun Lee, Kit Yam, Pergiovanni Luciano. Food Packging Science and Technology. CRC 2006



1.1. Definitions4

Packaging International Institute “Is the enclosure of products, items or packages in a wrapped

pouch, bag, box, cup, tray, can, tube, bottle or other container form to perform one or more of the following functions: containment, protection, preservation, communication, utility and performance”2

Codex Alimentarius “Food is package to preserve its quiality and freshness, and appeal to

consumers and facilitate storage and distribution”2

2. Robertson G. Food Packaging Principles and Practices. CRC 2006



1.2. History³5

1800: Nicolas Appert produced the first thermally preserved food 1870: Corrugated materials was patented 1880: First cereal packed in a folding box 1890: Crown cap was patented 1940: Aerosol was used by marines to dispense pesticides 1960: Two pieces DWI cans was developed 1970: Bar code was introduced 1990: Digital printing was introduced 2000: Environmental friendly packaging was developed 2010: Smart packaging were comercialized

THEME 2. PACKAGING FUNCTIONS

12



2.1. Main Functions13

Protection. Primary function of the package. Once the integrity of the package is breached, the product is not longer preserved. Physical damage Physiochemical deterioration Microbial spoilage Product tampering

Convenience Ready-to-eat meals Heat-and-eat meals Easy open Resealability Microwavability



2.1. Main Functions14

Communication. A package must protect what it sells and sell what it protecs Written text Brand logo Graphics Nutritional facts Barcode Time-temperature indicator RFID

Containment Is the most basic function of packaging. Its depends on the size, weight, form, and

shape of the enclosed food All products must be contained before they can moved

Market needs are created by the dynamics of socioeconomics and then technology is sought to provide solutions to satisfy those needs.

i.e. to satisfy the demand of the consumer convenience, microwavable food packages were developed.

5.1. Socioeconomics Needs40

FPI is driven by market pull to satisfy the needs of the society and economy.

Major socioeconomics

needs

Aspect Results Opportunities

Consumer lifestyle

•Aging Population•Increasing numbers of samaller families•Single person households










needs


Value •Benefist/cost ratio•Enhancing functions of packaging to satisfy the unmet needs of the consumer

•Lower cost meterials•High speed machines•Compact package design•Reduction of distribution costs

•Thicker monolayer materials•Double seamed containers•Replacing of heavy containers (glass-plastics)

Profits •Companies need to mantain or growth their businesses

•Packaging innovations to meet the ever changing market needs

•Different forms for beverage packaging•Battle ground for packaging materials suppliers to capture the market through optimization

Step 2Selecting

Package material andequipment

Step 3Evaluating

Prototype packages

Step 4Testing

Packaging systemin market

Food Product•Formulation•Processing•Stabilty to light, O2 and H2O

Marketing•Desired shelf life•Distribution chain•Cost constraints•Launch timing•Product positioning•Package size

Production• Existing equipment•Plant capability•Cost per unit calculations

Work with suppliers of packaging materials and machines to identify options

Determine costs and availability

Compare stock vesus custom package

Work c l ose ly w ith p roduct development to better understand ingredients and possible issues relating to packaging

Regultation compliance

Conduct shelf l ife testing to determine quality retention at ambient and elevated temperature

Conduct distribution testing to determine robustness and integrity of package

C o n d u ct p ro d u ct / pa c ka g e interaction testing

Evalate feasibility of scale-up at final production facility

Produce final food packages

Confirm all major requeriments are met

Retrieve packages from market for evaluation and cofirmation

Monitor consumer feedback during test market or rational rollout

Refine package/process design if necessaryMarketing Group typically leads

dicussions based upon cosumer data, while technical group provides input on feasibility

Timing is critical to package design. Identify potential issues that may delay timeline

Scale-up package at production facility is important prior to initial run to identify potential process issues

Final package is tested as part of a concept fulfillment test to confirm consumer acceptance of product and packageDong Sun Lee, Kit Yam, Pergiovanni Luciano. Food Packging Science and Technology. CRC 2006
