Active packaging technologies with oxygen scavengers and antimicrobials boost product shelf life and safety

Active packaging is gaining traction due to its ability to extend the shelf life of perishable products while maintaining safety and freshness. Technologies such as moisture regulators, oxygen scavengers, and antimicrobial coatings are increasingly being used in food packaging, particularly in meats, dairy, and fresh produce. These components respond to environmental changes and improve product integrity throughout the supply chain.

Intelligent packaging systems using RFID and sensors enhance traceability and consumer interaction

The demand for intelligent packaging is rising rapidly as companies aim to improve supply chain transparency, reduce counterfeiting, and increase customer engagement. Smart technologies such as RFID, QR codes, time-temperature indicators, and biosensors are being embedded in packaging formats to provide real-time information on product condition, location, and authenticity. This is especially relevant in the pharmaceutical and premium food sectors.

Modified atmosphere packaging systems extend freshness in food and beverage packaging applications

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) continues to dominate applications in processed food and ready-to-eat meals. By adjusting the internal gas composition of packaging, MAP slows microbial growth, retains texture, and improves product appearance. This technology is particularly vital in bakery items, dairy, and seafood, and is increasingly being integrated with other smart packaging features.
