Food packaging today is so much more than just protecting the individual product. It is true that the most important function, from the moment of packaging through transport, storage, and retail, is to ensure that the contents arrive in private households in one piece. But design and material also have a large influence on buying decisions because more and more people want food that comes in more sustainable packaging.
