It is essential that food be protected from external influences and properly packaged from production to consumption so that its quality does not decrease. Despite this, food packaging has characteristics that influence consumers' purchase decisions in addition to maintaining the product inside. Today, as the level of knowledge rises, so does the number of conscious customers, and as a result, elements such as capturing consumers' attention, offering information about the products, and instilling the belief that they are healthy have become essential. In this article, we will discuss three critical factors that you should consider while designing food packaging.
Expiration Date
Foods must be consumed within particular time frames in order to have a negative impact on human health, so people pay close attention to the expiration date on the container while shopping. Foods that are out of date or have only recently expired harm the brand's credibility and leave an unfavorable impression on the companies that sell them. To avoid these situations, the production and expiration dates on the package should be precisely determined and defined by the appropriate persons, and their up-to-dateness should be checked on a regular basis.
Nutrition Label Section
Another aspect that consumers pay attention to and that influences their purchase behavior is the fact that the labels on the packaging of food goods contain an informational section regarding the content. In this area, the nutritional label comprises information such as the food's composition, energy or nutritional elements, product-related components, preservation information, food features, and place of origin, manufacture, and production. The label, which functions as a type of food identity, informs the consumer about what to eat.
Using the Right Packaging Material
Because of the durability, storage conditions, and components of each food product, packaging models must differ. The use of appropriate packaging materials for the products influences the shelf life, freshness, and quality of food. As a result, factors such as ambient temperature, contact surface area, and time should be considered, and food packaging should be produced and packaged accordingly.
