food packaging

Food packaging refers to the materials and processes used to enclose and protect food products for distribution, storage, sale, and consumption. It serves several key purposes: preserving freshness, ensuring safety, providing information (like nutritional content and expiration dates), and acting as a marketing tool to attract consumers. Packaging can be made from various materials such as plastic, glass, metal, or paper, each chosen for its benefits in terms of durability, protection, and environmental impact. Proper packaging not only helps maintain food quality but also reduces waste and enhances convenience for consumers.
