Packaging is an essential medium for preserving food quality, minimising food wastage and reducing preservatives used in food. The packaging serves the important function of containing the food, protecting against chemical and physical damage.
Food packaging also plays an important role in keeping the food quality safe while handling and transportation& offers a modern marketing method to the sellers and helps improve customer satisfaction levels as well as information transmission.
It is utmost important in today’s time. The best package design will protect food quality as well as attract customers. Many times, the quality of food is judged by the quality of the package. Food package has three advantages stated as promotion, protection, and transportation. Not many people realise the importance of package until the brand fails to grab any attention of the customers.
Packaging is the best form of grabbing someone’s attention, it can be the make or break when wanting a customer to buy your product and there are many things to have in your mind like colour, size and shape as you need to stand out and be different to everyone else. This can be a big thing for a business wanting to be the best and makes the best business’ stand out from the rest who have a good packaging plan and are organised.
Composable Packaging – What’s the difference?
Compostable is a word that is being used a lot in todays society, but why is it so different to Biodegradable?
Well, Composable means that a product is capable of disintegrating into natural elements in a compost environment, leaving no toxicity in the soil. This typically must occur in about 90 days. It disposed of and breaks down in a manner that is kinder to the environment than plastic. It is made from plant-based, recycled materials and can return to earth quickly and safely as soil when disposed of in the right environmental conditions.
Although compostable and biodegradable are often used interchangeably, they do not mean the same thing. Biodegradable means that a product can break down without oxygen and turn into carbon dioxide, water and biomass within a reasonable amount of time. However, any product—be it a plastic electronic or toxic battery—will eventually break down.
We have composable tubs coming February next year! So, watch this space!
