The most direct meaning of food packaging is to play a protective role of food.

Packaged food is more convenient to circulate. Especially some liquid food or fragile food, it can be transported to more distant places after packaging to promote the exchange of food between different regions. More consumers can taste the different flavors of different regions.
In addition, some fresh foods are very rancid and are not easy to transport far away. Such as fruits and aquatic products, packaging can effectively reduce waste and increase the variety of foods after being made into various cans in the production area. Canned goods are less expensive to transport and require lower transportation conditions than fresh food directly, so it can effectively promote the rational and planned distribution of food.
Quality packaging can attract more consumers, further enhance the brand’s image, and promote the development of enterprises, so many manufacturers are now putting a lot of effort into the packaging of food to expand the market scale further.
