fn10fnnFood packaging serves many purposes, from protecting the food to creating portion sizes to offer information on the product. However, what is not well known about food packaging is the different types of packaging available. There are nine types are aseptic processing is for foods that are sterile and are so be maintained sterile. Trays are mostly self-explanatory. Trays are what meats, plant seeds, and drinks can be carried in. Bags are like trays; bags are a common form of food packaging. Boxes are used for the easiest form of transportation of a food product. Cans are also an excellent way of preserving and transporting foods. Boxes and cartons are oftentimes interchangeable. Like boxes, cartons are also made from crumpled fiberboard and are used for transporting foods. Flexible packaging is similar to bags, flexible packaging protects the food protect from the environment and create an adequate means of transporting foods. Pallets are used for mass transportation of a product. Wrappers used for original items, wrappers provide protection between the food and the environment or the food and a person’s hands. The plastics are usually used than the other. I think that all of these materials were chosen specifically for the products purchased because it is cheap to buy. The packaging positive for the consumer is it is easy to carry things to go everywhere and the negative is it will make a waste and some cannot recycle but some is. Packaging is a key part if the marketing plan for any business that  makes or sells products. A product’s package can be the selling point for many consumers by transporting a sense of quality while also following the product’s brand image. It is demanding in retail sales, where the right packaging design can attract the consumer’s eye and make the product stand out next to a rack of the competition’s product. These packaging materials once we have eaten the food inside we can recycle it and use it again to put some foods in it. You have probably witnessed the growth spurt of the meal kit business over the last couple of years. Yes, it’s  the one where you get exactly two basil leaves and a perfectly peeled clove of garlic sent to your doorstep. After on day, one year and one hundred years I think the packaging waste will be gone. All of the food waste will go to the ground for the plant.
