Food Packaging

Food sector is one of the most important packaging categories. The package and packaging of the food must have the highest quality in order to prevent any damage or negative conditions in the shelf process and until it reaches the customer to be consumed.

Looking at the Turkish Food Codex Packaging Regulation in general;

• Substances or materials in direct contact with food must have a quality that will not cause harm to human health.
• Production, processing and distribution stages should be determined in accordance with consumer needs.
• Packages that can cause unintended changes in the composition of the food should not be used.
• The labelling, advertising or promotion of the products should not mislead the consumer.
• If it is necessary, safety and proper use instructions should be included on the packaging.
• The name or trade name and address of the manufacturers, suppliers or the person responsible for the marketing authorisation must be indicated.
• In order to simplify the control, recall defective products and inform the consumer, traceability of substances and materials should be provided at all stages of production, processing and distribution.
• Recycled plastics cannot be used for production of substances and materials that are in contact with food.

We covered the points to be considered in food packaging. As legal enforcement will be applied in food packaging that is not taken into consideration, our priority must be to provide quality packaging in order not to compromise human health.

Nowadays, whilst there are many problems related to health and people are shopping carefully, with a quality packaging of your quality product, you will increase your customer potential and gain customer satisfaction. The best advertisement is customer satisfaction.

Types of Food Packaging

The most commonly used food packaging papers are craft paper, sulphide paper, oil-proof paper, vegetal parchment, thin paper, moisture-proof papers, coated papers, paper boards, shaped cups and etc.

Craft Paper: It is a general packaging paper with high mechanical strength. It is used for flour, sugar, vegetables and fruits.

Sulphide Paper: It is a packaging paper that is not as resistant as craft paper. It is used in biscuit packaging as interior paper.

Oil - Proof Paper: It has a firm texture that goes through severe mechanical processes. It is used in packaging such as meat, fish, dairy products.

Vegetal Parchment: It has better moisture resistance comparing to the oil- proof paper.  It is a paper prepared by going through processes such as washing and drying to destroy the chemical structure.

Moisture Resistant Papers: It is prepared by adding resin to the pulp, these papers are more resistant to moisture. Coated Papers: It is paper coated with wax or coated with plastic. It is a packaging technique such as heat resistance, water vapour resistance, protection of volatile substances.

Shaped Cups: It is a cup shaped in accordance with the materials to be placed in it. It is used to prevent materials such as egg, glass bottle, from hitting each other, breaking and overturning.

Food packaging is very important. Each food has a different packaging appropriate to its texture and resistance. Even though we have briefly explained the types of food packaging, there are different types of packaging in different categories and features.

There is a point that should be emphasised: 'Although packaging may seem like a non-returnable expense that comes out of your pocket, it is actually an investment that has a very high return. No matter how high quality you produce the products you produce, if you do not preserve them in a quality packaging, they will lose their properties, stale, smell, deteriorate in appearance, and lose their flavour. This will cause both customer loss and loss of quality goods you produce. Do you want to waste your labour? Preserving your labour well, you want your labour to be returned.

Consumers of the food sector, which has a very important place in the market, also give great importance to packaging. In fact, they give more importance to the packaging; consumers make purchases by looking at the packaging and information on it without seeing the product inside.

At this point, we can say that: "the quality of the product is as much as the importance you give to the packaging. If a product that has not yet been seen is evaluated with its packaging, the packaging is as important as the product.
