Packaging Services Dubrava
An important aspect of marketing any product is its packaging. Whether it's fresh food, ready-made meals, medicine, liquids, or other products sensitive to temperature, atmospheric conditions or transportation, the packaging is the most important condition for it to reach its customers undamaged. Depending on the physical and chemical properties of the goods to be packaged, packaging can be made of a variety of materials - paper, cardboard, nylon, wood or plastic, glass, aluminium or other metals. In addition to its protective function, packaging now also has a marketing role, so branded packaging for various products is becoming more and more common. The companies that specialise in the production and branding of packaging made from various materials are listed below.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of packaging is healthiest for food?
- To preserve the quality, taste, and smell of food, glass is the best packaging material. Glass packaging protects food from moisture, does not alter its properties, and keeps the product fresh for a longer period of time. Glass does not allow gases to pass through, making it suitable for packaging carbonated drinks. Glass does not release any harmful substances that could contaminate food, is easy to sterilize, and can be reused, thus preserving the environment. The main "disadvantage" of glass packaging is that glass, as a material, is heavy and fragile, and therefore sensitive to transport and all the costs that arise from this fact. This is one of the main reasons why plastic has massively replaced glass packaging in recent decades.
- Why are plastic bottles not suitable for multiple use?
- Due to its physical characteristics (lightweight, durable, flexible), low production costs, and ease of transport, plastic packaging is the most common material used for packaging products, including food items. In the production of packaging, certain standards must be met which involve ensuring that products are not exposed to ingredients harmful to health. As plastic itself contains many harmful substances, its use in the packaging process must be carried out under controlled conditions. For all these reasons, plastic used as food or beverage packaging (PET packaging) has a single-use function and should not be used for multiple purposes (plastic water bottles, plastic containers, etc.).
- Why do markings on plastic packaging differ?
- Plastic packaging is used for packaging a large number of different products. Its chemical composition and structure can vary significantly and show different properties depending on the products they contain, which is why they are labeled with different designations: PET, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PP, PS, PC, etc. Some types of plastic are more harmful to human health and the environment than others.
- Is packaging used for fast food harmful?
- It is often said that even fast food is not as unhealthy as the packaging it is packaged in. Namely, the packaging in which fast food is most commonly packaged (cardboard boxes, paper bags, styrofoam containers, etc.) contains various additives, resins, and chemicals that are aimed at preserving the temperature and freshness of the prepared food during transport. In direct contact with food, these harmful substances can contaminate the food and enter the human body along with it.
