Food Flexible Packaging Safety Analysis Food packaging materials are mainly made of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide and other polymer materials. These packaging materials, because of their molecular structure and the forming process and the performance of different additives added a larger difference. Therefore, choose a product's packaging materials for enterprises is particularly important, otherwise prone to food safety. For example, barrier materials, poor, it will shorten the shelf life of liquid milk; Without the proper amount of ventilation and can not guarantee fresh vegetables. In order to maintain circulation and health and safety of fresh food available to consumers, must be carried out safety checks on food packaging. Performance requirements on food packaging are the following aspects. (1) barrier properties of the gas barrier property, including the barrier and moisture barrier. Food deterioration over the barrier properties due to inappropriate packaging materials. According to different contents, shelf life, storage conditions, selection of suitable barrier materials. End of 2005, introduced in GB? 19741-2005 (liquid food packaging plastic composite film, packaging bags standard) on the proposed barrier packaging film with GB/T1038 (plastic film permeability test method) and GB/T1037 (plastic film and sheet water vapor permeability test methods) for testing. (2) Tensile properties of the transport process requires the packaging film must have sufficient tensile strength. For the composite film should ensure that the film is not between the layers, which requires a higher composite film peel strength to prevent delamination. Optional intelligent electronic tensile machine according to GB / T? 13022 (tensile properties of plastic film) on the tensile properties and peel performance control. (3) film smoothness films should have good smoothness to ensure the smooth conduct of high-speed packaging, should be based on GB? 10006 (coefficient of friction of plastic film and sheeting determination) determination, the general requirements of the dynamic friction coefficient of films between 0.2 ~ 0.4. Here should be particularly noted that with increasing temperature, the material will be considerable changes in surface friction coefficient can be used FPT-F1 Friction coefficient / peel test machine to measure the very temperatures (room temperature -99.9 ℃) movement of materials coefficient of friction. (4) The sealing performance of automatic packaging to be sealed to avoid leakage, virtual seal, seal leakage, sticky head, drawing such a situation, and requires canned faster, the better, otherwise it will affect the appearance and packaging of food safety, which requires Before carrying out automatic packaging apparatus should be used to seal the sealing temperature of the heat sealing machine, sealing time, sealing pressure of the necessary tests to confirm, increase efficiency and avoid waste. (5) food packaging film printing ink performance requirements of the ink and substrate addition to the general binding force, wear resistance, but also resistant to sterilization and boiling treatment requirements, and freezing tolerance, heat resistance, in order to ensure Transport, storage does not occur during the ink off, condensation and other phenomena. According to GB? 7707 (intaglio decoration print) the use of combination printing fastness testing machine for testing. AQSIQ introduced in 2005 on food packaging mandatory product certification management system (ie, 3C certification), the product must pass quality inspection before the market. Therefore, choose a professional manufacturer of packaging testing instruments in the well-known enterprises is particularly important.

Environmental protection of fexible packaging products The so-called green packaging should have the connotation of five aspects: 1, packaging reduction (Reduce); 2, packing should be easy to reuse (Reuse), or readily Recycling (Recycle); 3, degradation of packaging waste can be corrupted (Degradable ); 4 is what biology packaging materials should be non-toxic to human sound. Package should not contain toxic elements, bacteria, heavy metals; or those with relevant standards should be controlled below; 5 packaging products from raw materials acquisition, materials processing, manufacturing products, product handling, waste recycling, until its final the life of the whole process of dealing with the human body and the environment should not cause pollution. Food packaging is the modern food industry is the last process, it plays a packaging, protection, beautification, promotion and convenient food storage, transportation and sales of the important role, and to some extent, food and food packaging has become an important component of non-separated . At present, China's food packaging industry is faced with is not optimistic, the market in many food packaging materials Nan Yi Complex State right food security, health and environmental aspects of requirements, such as the toxicity He solvent residues, heavy metals, etc., not only hazardous to health and the impact on the food packaging industry in China, even the healthy development of the entire food industry. Join the WTO, "Technical Barriers to Trade" has become a large export enterprises are facing the biggest challenge. At present, China Plastic gravure printing ink, the benzene solvent ink large proportion, while Europe and the United States and other developed countries explicitly prohibit the use in food packaging and printing benzene solvent, the alcohol, and other environment-friendly water-based ink in benzene plastic gravure application will increasingly concern to the industry and have led the trend of the future of ink printing market.. In early 2005, the occasion of China's accession to the WTO three years, "the development of green flexible packaging", "with international standards," these statements to see more and more flexible packaging for the domestic large and small enterprises mentioned, the voice in the academic community and the environment flexible packaging industry growing. At the same time, the domestic flexible packaging industry is the mainstream practice, a series of environmental protection policies and regulations, measures, product gradually introduced, such as legislation to prevent excessive packaging, safety and environmental protection product certification, Flexible, solvent-free composite, biodegradable film, environmental protection type aluminum foil, etc., these policies, products and technologies by the consumer and the market.

China's regulations on food packaging materials To effectively protect the reputation of China's exports and trade in the normal development, to ensure import and export food safety, protect the health of consumers at home and abroad, to strengthen import and export food packaging containers, packaging materials, safety and health quarantine and supervision work, the State Administration of Quality Supervision on August 1, 2006 from the implementation of the "import and export food packaging containers, packaging materials, the inspection supervision regulations." According to requirements, food packaging materials required for testing the safety, sanitation projects a lot, usually for specific indicators of the general dissolution test and test. The so-called leaching test is based on the food packaging materials and containers for different purposes (costumes water, acid, oil, alcohol and foods), respectively, of water, 4% acetic acid, n-hexane, 65% ethanol soaked so evaporation residue, potassium acid potassium consumption, heavy metals, bleaching test. The so-called test-specific index is based on food packaging materials, detection of vinyl chloride monomer, styrene monomer, ethylene derivatives, formaldehyde, plasticizers, N-nitroso substances residues and other indicators.

Development prospects of China's food package AQSIQ requirements from August 1, 2006 to begin the import and export food packaging containers, packaging materials (that have been in contact with food or are expected to come into contact with food products for import and export packaging, sales packaging, transport packaging and packaging materials ) to strengthen inspection and supervision work, mainly based on the export food packaging safety and health of the importing country related to the mandatory requirements specification testing, laws and regulations of the importing country has no special requirements, according to our specifications mandatory testing. Green is the flexible packaging industry trends, regardless of the actual situation of enterprises have to face.  Enterprises to implement environmentally friendly production, is bound to put a lot of production equipment costs, but even so, taking into account the long-term interests of greatest cost-effective investment. In particular, some manufacturers to meet the needs of high-end customers, so that products exported to foreign countries to gain more orders, could be considered ahead of time to go green line. The development of environmentally friendly production flexible packaging business should pay attention to the following aspects: First, we should use environmentally friendly packaging materials, such as biodegradable films, water-soluble films, edible films, etc.; second is to avoid excessive packaging interests of consumers of the products so that consumers are more and more affordable; third production must meet the relevant international standards and national laws and regulations, safety, consumer responsibility. From the government point of view, the domestic aspects of food safety regulators to reform and establish effective food safety control system, through the executive departments, supervision and inspection department and analysis laboratory, food production, processing, distribution and sale of the security of the whole process of problem supervision, inspection, management, law enforcement, protection of consumer interests;, full use of existing WTO mechanisms, the major importing countries requested technical cancel unreasonable restrictions, to establish a strict, fair and reasonable technical barriers to trade and sanitary and phytosanitary new rules , constrained more and more developed countries, the proliferation of technical restrictions, as China's food exports and create a fair competitive international environment. Only in this way can China's food exports are fundamental to improve the environment.  Conclusion: For China's food export enterprises themselves and dialects, a comprehensive package to promote the significance of environmental protection not only reduce environmental pollution problems and to permit enterprises to the international market. Who owns the easy recycling of packaging whoever may occupy the market, who are not recycling symbol on the packaging / packaging green flag, who will have access to world markets. Green flag to change China's export products in overseas markets on the image, and can more effectively enhance their competitiveness. Therefore, China's exporters in the choice of packaging materials, packaging, packaging machinery and packaging services, they must proceed from the environment to improve their products competitive in overseas markets.

Nine innovative concept packaging design ; Twentieth century, business thinkers famous Peter Chuang grams that business has two functions - marketing and innovation. This article is the integration of these two concepts. Essentially, packaging is a marketing tool, your customers buy your products last seen before the marketing information. ; If your product on retail store sales, then the packaging design will be the measure of the success of your products a major factor. Is now to make your products stand out hundreds of similar products, you'll have it designed to be different. Look at what your competitors are doing, while ensuring your unique design. ew packaging will make your product eye-catching, to help you shape the brand, giving products humanization. Whether you like it or not, people tend to judge you first by packaging the product is good or bad. So, how can you not join the conventional package design it? You can spend thousands of dollars received from the packaging design of some ideas, or you can think about themselves. Here are 10 ideas to stimulate your thinking, help you come up with an innovative packaging. 1. The design of small reusable drinks packaging market has matured, competition is fierce. If you think that there have been no novelty act, you may wrong. POM Tea Company have launched a special packaging. It is very special launch of the product itself - is to add pomegranate juice, tea. Packaging is more worthy of mention: a popular drink is packed in a long strip of glass products, the above is the cover and heat shrink labels, written: remove the label, leaving the bottle. The product is about 2.79 U.S. dollars a bottle, the bottled tea is not expensive, but you can get a free bottle, do not worry about recovery issues. 2. With a little modification in the packaging and sometimes your package is standardized, but with some small modifications can make it different. AMY'S KITCHEN in their pasta sauce production line to make such changes. Sauce packing a standard size jar, paste is also a standard color label. The products in it from a lot of distinction between the paper and the lid of its golden ring on the ring. That look like a grandmother packaged like, so when you come to not pay attention to it when the shelf is immune. 3. The packaging design the first place many people believe that first priority should be the product, packaging on the second. However, the company METHOD PRODUCTS opposite. They focus from the outset, the design of the packaging - they want to design a beautiful package, you do not then hide it to hide the ugly. They designed a series of high-quality cleaning supplies and packaging, as can be placed as decoration in the kitchen, or bathroom. These products are very prominent place in the supermarket. 4. The packaging design was interesting and fun packaging is not just children, patents, adults like interesting things. Occupy the mainstream of children's products, packaging design, such as bright colors, different shapes in general, the same can be used in adult products, packaging design, only these will be refined further. First of all, the packaging design into the "fun" element of the industry is the system of liquor. You just take the time to wander the local small shops, you can find many bottles bearing the label on horses, penguins, kangaroos, frogs, swans, etc.. Do not prepare a penguin shaped bottles, as long as a penguin in the above printed on a high-profile enough to make it.  5. Hyun product color CANDLE-LITE is a giant candle, with 160 years of candle manufacturing history. They do not fancy the packaging, using only the transparent bottle, but the use of color really amazing. They use bright colors painted on in layers of candle and let the color shining out through the transparent glass. The label on the back of the bottle surface is white, so highlight the color of the bottle candles. Therefore, the candle in the supermarket shelves, they can be easily differentiated from other similar products. 6. Double-sided printing - extend your tag if your product is transparent liquid, packed in a transparent bottle, then there is a way to give you more space for packaging design, and low cost. I mean, you can print the label on the back of some of the elements. Of course, the regular information can not put labels on the back, but you can print a number of such debates, on the company's story, or better use of product recommendations and so on. This is a very simple way, can give you more information to customers without damaging the image of packaging. 7. Try the appearance of many metal labels printed on white or transparent material, but you also have many other choices. There is a program worth considering is the use of metallic foil as a label or packaging. If well designed, attractive white metal is much more than appearance, but also how much you will not. 8. The characteristics of design for customers Unilever AXE product packaging has a very specific position - the age of 18 to 35 year olds. So they focused on packaging design to attract these people. AXE SHOWER GEL bottle is a thick molded black plastic container, rough appearance, very popular with these young people, welcome, use it as shower gel loading equipment as simple as oil. 9. Fusion of two packaging design industry is another competitive beer industry, large comp

How to choose and purchase plastic bottles First, the history of plastic bottles: 80 years of the 20th century, as China continued from abroad advanced production line of plastic bottles, opened with "plastic" on behalf of the "glass" the prelude, from plastic bottles to be used widely in packaging. Plastic bottles which are mainly non-toxic polymers such as high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyester (PET), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) as the main raw material, the use of advanced plastic molding process and equipment for production of plastic bottles, mainly dressed all kinds of capsules, tablets, powders, granules, capsules, oral liquid, solid and liquid, etc.. Second, the use of plastic bottles: Domestic market to sell drugs, dietary supplements, all food and drinks most of the use of plastic bottles, you casually stroll to the drugstore or supermarket, you can see the products packaged in plastic bottles. Medicines and nutritional healthcare products mainly used to polyester bottles (PET bottles) and high density polyethylene bottles (HDPE bottles), the major use of PET beverage bottles (PET), daily necessities such as shampoo, shower gel, use high-density polyethylene bottles (HDPE bottles) more. Plastic bottle features the largest light weight, unbreakable, clean, beautiful, and its large number of technical indicators and data show that its chemical resistance, excellent water vapor permeability of seals, which can be loaded entirely within the period of product safety shielding and protection products play a role. Third, the principle of selection of plastic bottles: l, no matter what material do choose plastic bottles, first of all must be consistent with non-toxic, no smell, etc., as the main raw materials for a wide variety of choice, which need to be selected combination of properties of raw materials, tablets usually use high-density polyethylene ethylene, polypropylene bottles, such as the need for transparency can be used PET bottles (PET bottles), if necessary, higher barrier properties, and stop light, opaque, brown PET bottles are used, the liquid formulations of drugs generally used in the polypropylene bottles or PET bottles as the main raw material. Currently the nutritional health products and food packaging PET bottles are mainly used for making fertilizer or HPDE, cap is PP material with 2, bottle and cap sealing, water vapor permeability. Sealing and water vapor permeability of plastic bottles are two important technical indicators, they play the packaged products of crucial importance for the stability of the impact. 3, plastic bottles product quality standards. From the production plant quality standards of product quality can be analyzed to judge the merits. 4, the quality assurance system. Audit of the supplier purchase plastic bottles has become the essential part. Through the audit, can plant the software and hardware facilities, technical equipment, comprehensive level of quality to make a comprehensive assessment of the right. 5, used for packaging drugs, dietary supplements, food and beverages must not use recycled materials issued by the Ministry of Health, "Plastic products and raw materials, food hygiene management measures," which clearly provides: "Where the processing of plastic utensils, containers, food packaging material, shall not use recycled plastic. "regulations is November 26, 1990 promulgated the. 4, plastic bottles status Life everywhere plastic bottles, plastic bottles and is closely related to people's daily life, is none, I do not know something well-known everywhere in the. China also has a large base of plastic recycling, but the regulation does not regulate, good and bad times missing reference. In addition to a lot of plastic bottles made from recycled materials, production on people's health physical harm, there is pollution in the work en route, but also seriously endanger the health of consumers. Ministry of Health, "Plastic products and raw materials, food hygiene management measures," which clearly provides: "Where the processing of plastic utensils, containers, food packaging materials, shall not use recycled plastic." Recycling of waste plastics can be processed into other products. Many businesses now driven by the interests, tend to choose low-cost recovery of materials to manufacture products, it is indeed worrying. If you are using course there are impurities found in the bottle, transparent bottle of transparency is low, we should alert, and polish your eyes,

Food Packaging Materials Development This year's two sessions have been concluded, however, impressive in a word "carbon" in particular keep people's minds. "Low-carbon economy" for the first time among the two sessions, one of the hottest in the Internet survey, the "low carbon" word into two sessions this year is an important keywords. The deputies and members are generally concerned about the low-carbon issues; Jiu San Society "submitted on promoting low carbon economic development of China's proposal" by the attention of all sectors ... ... At present, the food industry rejects the excessive packaging, refuse to squander phenomenon. The use of recycled materials or sustainable production of forest products that do the voice is also growing, in addition to industry sources, the community called for environmental protection, low-carbon packaging voice getting higher and higher. Main reasons for this phenomenon, I think that apart from raising the level beyond which people understand, but also with the "excessive packaging" the impact of a certain relationship. Excessive packaging has become a public nuisance Over-packaging of goods has become a major hazard in today's society, which not only caused economic loss to society, but also brought some social problems. Excessive packaging not only created a huge amount of domestic waste, but also contributed to commercial fraud wind, damage the interests of consumers. Statistics show that a number of luxury goods packaging costs have accounted for 70% of total product is already overwhelming and even black-hearted businesses the opportunity to bundle other products, consumers money and cost of an ordinary or even inferior goods purchased. In addition, excessive packaging is also induced by the social atmosphere of a luxury, hidden corruption, exacerbated social disharmony. Astronomical moon cake, sky-high price of wine, astronomical health care products and so on, the wind-induced social luxury; excessive packaging holiday gifts by some as a "fig leaf", with a valuable securities, gifts and even money, open bribery of the Road. The impact of over-packaging is not only our daily lives, while those who are still a waste of our human finite source of energy. Refuse excessive packaging, promoting environmental protection, low-carbon packaging will be the general trend. Food packaging before the food distribution market, an essential process, access to relevant information, the author found that low-carbon technology can affect the food packaging a number of factors, but mainly packaging materials and packaging design of the two major factors. Packaging materials have been made towards the development of low-carbon direction 1. Repeated reuse and recycling of packaging materials Repeated re-use packaging, such as beer, beverages, soy sauce, vinegar glass bottle packaging with repeated use. Sweden and other countries to implement PC PET PET beverage bottles and bottles of re-using up to 20 times or more. Netherlands Wellman Inc. Johnson Inc. and the United States carried out 100% of the PET container recycling. Packaging materials reuse and recycling, just to extend the plastic packaging materials such as polymer materials as life, when reached its useful life, they still faced with the treatment of waste and environmental pollution problems. 2. Edible packaging materials For decades, people familiar with the use of sticky candy packaging paper and packaging ice cream corn baking cups are typically packaged edible packaging. Is now generally used in edible plastic wrap, has developed into a multi-functional in nature, by a variety of biological macromolecules (proteins and polysaccharide) and lipid membrane made of multi-component food. Such composite membranes mainly through the interaction between different molecules, the formation of a stable emulsion, and then dried so that solvent evaporation and the formation of porous, transparent or translucent three-dimensional network structure of the film, the porous network structure so that with a clear waterproof film and a certain degree of choice permeability, and thus in the food industry, particularly in fresh fruits and vegetables, the broad application prospects. 3. Biodegradable materials Biodegradable materials refers to the performance loss caused by a specific time within a particular environment, its chemical structure changes as a plastic. Biodegradable plastic packaging material has both the functions and features of traditional plastics, but also the completion of life, adopted the role of ultraviolet sunlight or soil and water microbial role in the degradation and restore the natural environment division, which will eventually non-toxic the form of re-entry into the ecological environment, the return to nature. According to reports, a new type of environmentally-friendly food packaging materials is expected to come out recently in the United States. Successful development of this new new food packaging film can prevent the infiltration of oxygen to achieve the preservation effect. Because of this new material from the composition of the main stem not suitable for eating vegetables and fruits, so it can be an biodegradable, environmentally-friendly materials. Estimated that this new material in the future is likely to replace traditional plastic film of polyethylene food packaging industry to become the main material. Packaging design should also be a low-carbon In the packaging field, product packaging shape is equally important, therefore, designers are making packaging design when, in addition to the pursuit of innovation, should also strive to convey the product's brand identity and personality. Taking into account the environmental requirements of consumers, the product's overall weight and packaging materials is also very important to two factors. The targeted design strategy can quality into products, thereby enhancing the enterprise price points and profit margins, reduce material waste. Such as the U.S. market, a common cube wine is a good example, it can make the product a unique appearance in many competitors. Carton manufacturer Chesapeake (Chesapeake) the company's marketing director Bob Houghton believes that good design and reasonable structure is not only can reduce packaging waste, but also in some cases, to reduce plastic use. Environmentally friendly packaging materials, coupled with a targeted design, is bound to reduce the material waste, the corresponding also reduced the production costs and increase profits, but the significance of low-carbon far more than this, the better to reduce the carbon emissions, protecting our environment for survival, creating a good living environment. Whether the Copenhagen meeting, or two sessions of "low carbon" hot discussion, there are indications that low-carbon way to explore is the trend of social development and people's consensus. Any one country's sustainable development is indispensable to the effective and rational utilization of resources, China's rapid economic development in recent decades, remarkable achievements, but it is undeniable that our model of economic development was still based on high energy consumption and on the basis of high pollution. In the food industry, environmental protection, low-carbon voice rising, "excessive packaging", "blind packaging" means packaging such as high-carbon have also been improved, but the face of the existing results we can not relax, we should sort out ideas, to explore better low-carbon packaging, to the development of China's low-carbon packaging road.

Innovative Packaging There have been a wide variety of different product packaging innovations that have come to make our lives a lot easier. There are also a number of different types of packaged products that we tend to simply take for granted, without necessarily realizing how the packaging made the product possible. For example, could we have potato chips or eggs without their packages? There are dozens of different egg drop contests all over the country that are held to create unique packaging options for eggs. Could we have toothpaste without the unique packing that makes it possible? Could we pop microwave popcorn without its unique bag? There is a truly astounding list of packaging innovations that have been able to influence our everyday lives. There have been a myriad of different important packing innovations that have been developed in the last fifty years or so. There are a lot of key words that are regularly used when describing innovations in the world of product packaging, including terms like microwavable, shelf stable, juice box, meal replacement and home meal are all terms that have come as direct results from innovations in the world of product packaging. What many companies are now facing is how they can integrate innovative packaging concepts into their own project packaging in order to get the most out of their product packaging while utilizing the newest technologies as well as the most effective ways of packaging something. How can you take your current type of packaging and somehow improve upon it? Looking at packaging innovations in the food industry is an excellent way to see how companies have been able to make packaging work for them. For examples, Sargento cheese was the first cheese company to put a reclosable zipper on the packaging for their shredded cheese. Wishbone Salad Dressing was the first company to develop salad dressing that could be sprayed rather than poured. Clorox developed a bleaching application capable of being applied directly to a stain, a Clorox bleach pen. By looking at these examples, it should not be impossible for you to see what it means to make packaging work for you. If your product can be improved upon in some way based on its packaging, or if you can somehow develop packaging that is innovative, then you are definitely making your packaging work for you.
