Food and beverage packaging
Technology
Food and beverage packaging is the enclosing
of food that requires protection from tampering,
whether by physical, chemicals, or biological
needs. It also shows the Food and beverage
packaging that is labeled to show any nutrition
information on the food being consumed.

Food and beverage packaging's functions
Food packaging's functions are as diverse
as they are important. They are broken down
as follows.
1. Containment: For items that are granulated,
paper-based packages are the best with a
sealing system to prevent moisture infiltration
of the product. Other products are packaged
using metal cans, plastic bags and bottles,
and glass. Another factor in containment
is food and beverage packaging durability,
meaning the packaged food has to survive
transport from the food and beverage packaging
at the food processing facility to the supermarket
to the home for the consumer.
2. Protection: The food and beverage packaging
must protect the food from biological agents
in rats, insects, and microbes; from mechanical
damage such as product abrasion, compressive
forces, and vibration; and from chemical
degradation such as oxidation, moisture
transfer, and ultraviolet light.
3. Communication: Packaged food must be
identified for consumer use mainly with
label text and graphics. It can also be
shown with the food package's shape such
as the Coca-Cola bottle or the can of Spam.
Other well known food package shapes include
the potato chip bags and milk bottles. These
packages also detail nutritional information,
if they are kosher or halal-approved, manufacturer,
product size (volume or weight-based), and
the Universal Product Code (UPC).
4. Functionality: That the package is easy
to use for both manufacturers and consumers.
These products can be purchased all at once
such as frozen pizza or as part of a larger
package such as a twelve pack of beer. Another
use may be to see if the package can go
through a microwave process such as a TV
dinner. Other items included pour spouts
already on the bottles are other methods
to ease dispensing of the product.
5. Environmental issues: This means that
we must be done to reuse the food and beverage
packaging, reducing the size of the food
and beverage packaging, and then recycling
of the products to be remanufactured.
6. Food and beverage packaging safety: That
the package be used for safety of the food
from the package or vice versa. This includes
any metal contamination issues from a can
to the food product or any plastic contamination
from a bottle to a food product as well.
Food and beverage packaging types
The above materials are fashioned into different
types of Food and beverage packaging and
containers such as:
Primary food and beverage packaging is the
main package that holds the food that is
being processed. Secondary food and beverage
packaging combines the primary Food and
beverage packaging into one box being made.
Tertiary food and beverage packaging combines
all of the secondary packages into one pallet.
There are also special containers that combine
different technologies for maximum durability:
• Bags-In-Boxes (used for soft drink syrup,
other liquid products, and meat products)
• Wine box (used for wine)
Food and beverage packaging machines
A choice of food and beverage packaging
machinery includes, technical capabilities,
labor requirements, worker safety, maintainability,
serviceability, reliability, ability to
integrate into the food and beverage packaging
line, capital cost, floorspace, flexibility
(change-over, materials, etc.), energy usage,
quality of outgoing packages, qualifications
(for food, phamaceuticals, etc.), throughput,
efficiency, productivity, ergonomics, etc.
Food and beverage packaging machines may
be of the following general types:
• Blister, Skin and Vacuum Food and beverage
packaging Machines
• Capping, Over-Capping, Lidding, Closing,
Seaming and Sealing Machines
• Cartoning Machines
• Case and Tray Forming, Packing, Unpacking,
Closing and Sealing Machines
• Cleaning, Sterilizing, Cooling and Drying
Machines
• Conveying, Accumulating and Related Machines
• Feeding, Orienting, Placing and Related
Machines
• Filling Machines: handling liquid and
powdered products
• Food and beverage packaging Filling and
Closing Machines
• Form, Fill and Seal Machines
• Inspecting, Detecting and Checkweighing
Machines
• Palletizing, Depalletizing, Pallet Unitizing
and Related Food and beverage packaging
Machines
• Product Identification: labelling, marking,
etc.
• Wrapping Machines
• Converting Machines
• Other speciality Food and beverage packaging
machinery
