• Introduction

    In the current market scenario, packaging provides the most important first point of contact by which a company presents its products to consumers. Innovation in packaging designs and colors is taking places brands jostle for shelf appeal and space. Important types of packaging include Active, Intelligent or smart and green etc.

    Active, intelligent and green are terms used to describe innovative packaging technologies developed to prolong the shelf life, enhance the quality and safety of food and protect the environment. Conventional passive packaging systems protect the food product only from external environmental hazards. These new technologies are used to modify and monitor the internal and external food environment and provide multiple barriers or hurdles to protect food.

    Active packaging materials change the condition of the packaged food product and are designed to extend shelf life, improve safety and/or enhance sensory properties in foods and beverages, while maintaining the quality of the packaged food.

    Intelligent or smart packaging systems monitor the internal and/or external conditions of a product through its life cycle and communicate the quality to a particular user

    Green packaging initiatives are meeting consumer desires for packaging that is earth friendly, biodegradable and/or compostable and made from renewable resources
