After a food product is processed, food packaging ensures that food reaches the consumer in peak condition.

Packaging preserves the integrity, safety and quality of food products in transport, wholesale warehouses, and retail stores and in the home. It helps maximise the shelf life of the product while carrying important information on the label.
