keeping the food quality safe while handling and transportation. Food
packaging offers a modern marketing medium to the sellers and helps
improve customer satisfaction levels as well as information
transmission. It protects the food products from contamination caused by

Fresh foods, such as vegetable and
fruits, are generally packed in textile bags, corrugated box, or baskets
made up of wood or cardboard with a view to maintain proper aeration
through packaging. Seafood and meat is generally packed with
polyethylene lined or polystyrene in boxes made up of plastic or wood,
and the thickness of the packaging depends on the mode of transport and
storage period. Fresh beverages, such as milk and juice, are mostly
packed in cartons made up of paper or metal. Now-a-days, consumers tend
to focus more on using food contact materials approved by the
government-authorized bodies, such as FDA.
Currently, the most commonly used plastic
materials are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene
terephthalate. Besides, in recent times, there has been a significant
rise in the usage of biodegradable materials for food packaging.
Researchers and manufacturers, in collaboration, are trying to modify
conventional plastic and innovate new materials for ensuring and
maintaining safe and hygienic food packaging practices.
Evolving life style of consumers,
increasing health and environmental awareness, and supportive
environmental policies implemented by various governments across the
globe are the major factors responsible for the increasing global demand
for fresh food packaging, which in turn is boosting their market
