With the change of the times, the environment of food packaging has also changed greatly. Although it varies according to the objects and regions, there are still many common points in common if we look at the scale of the earth.

In this context, due to the development of information technology, even in developing countries without electricity, they can use the network with batteries and talk with mobile phones. Even with the development of transportation by aircraft, large cargo ships, automobiles, trucks and trains, the transportation, circulation and movement of materials and people have become large, fast and high-speed. As a result, even though the geographical distance is far, the distance of time is much closer than before. Therefore, what happened in a certain country quickly spread all over the world. In the so-called information society, the environment of food packaging is the same.

1、 Top 10 topics of global concern

This serial view is based on 10 useful trends for packaging new product development:

In 2013, one of the most popular food packaging trends in the world is "save food". In a broad sense, it means the saving and relief of food and food materials. In a narrow sense, it means reducing food waste and food loss. As for grain saving, food, packaging, circulation and other related industries and organizations at home and abroad are cooperating with relevant government units in various aspects. In May 2014, Interpack 2014, the world's largest international packaging exhibition, was held in Dusseldorf, Germany. Food saving is also a major theme. Packaging is closely related to the issue of grain saving, and great expectations are also placed on it. Among them, "prolonging the shelf life" and "extending the flavor appreciation period" are one of the solutions to save food, and are also the eternal topic of food packaging. In addition, it is also very important to remove food and other contents completely from the packaging container without residue.

2.「Renewable」

Secondly, "sustainability" is one of the most popular trends in the field of food packaging. The so-called sustainability refers to the sustainability of the current situation in the future. In a broad sense, in response to the global warming caused by the emission of carbon dioxide, the first step is to reduce the carbon footprint. In order to realize the circular society, we should start from the implementation of 3R (saving resources, reusing and recycling) of food packaging materials, plus the use of renewable materials, the saving and management of water resources and the food saving mentioned above.

3. "Flexible packaging", "thin and short" and "individual packaging"

The materials used in food packaging have changed greatly. From the general direction, from hard packaging such as glass bottles and metal cans to plastic packaging materials represented by Baote bottles and stand up pouches. In particular, the use of plastic film, aluminum foil vertical bags and other soft packaging materials, the importance of increasing year by year, it can be said that packaging materials "soft packaging" is a trend.

As we all know, from the point of view of new product development of electrical, electronic and information machines, the key point is "thinness and shortness", and food packaging materials have the same trend. With the progress of advanced countries toward small families, the Chinese mainland also has this tendency. The unit of food packaging (capacity) has been reduced, and rod packaging has been represented. The "1 individual" packaging has increased, resulting in an increase in the number of food packages.

4. "Adapt to aging" and "universal design"

From the age of population structure, not only is the advanced country, but also the Chinese mainland is moving towards the younger generation. In Japan, more than a quarter of the elderly population over 65 years old has become a super elderly society. In the future, the proportion of elderly people over 65 years old will be even higher, accounting for one third of the total population in 10 years. One third of the users of food packaging are the elderly with poor eyesight, grip strength and physical strength. At that time, the opening and re sealing of food packaging containers will become very important. It is hoped that the food packaging container can improve the easy opening, re sealing and identification of label content in response to aging. In addition to meeting the needs of the elderly, we hope to expand the scope of objects to the design that is easy to use for the physically disabled and healthy people.

5. "Simplicity", "convenience"

Take the packaging container of microwave food as an example. In the past, when the microwave food was to be heated, the food should be taken out of the packaging container and put into the plate or other containers. Now, because the packaging container of microwave food can let the steam out, it can be directly put into the microwave oven for heating and conditioning.

6. "Risk management"

If pesticides or harmful foreign bodies are mixed in, causing health hazards, there will be food safety problems. It may also be intentionally mixed with harmful substances in the packaging process, so we hope to improve the monitoring of employees and strict management of hazardous substances.

In addition, the labeling of food packaging containers is also very important. When purchasing food, the labels of heat, nutrition, origin, halal food and vegetarian food, classification and identification marks of food packaging materials during recycling are helpful to the safety, security and health of consumers. If the product is attached with RFID (radio frequency identifier), in case of product problems, it can be recycled quickly to minimize the damage. To prevent counterfeiting, you can use special ink, micro print, hologram, or envelope on the lid.

7. "Globalization"

Nowadays, the movement, transmission and exchange of people, goods, money and information around the world have become very large and rapid, all of which are developing towards globalization. Food, daily necessities, clothing and other general consumer goods are mainly produced in low wage developing countries. Chinese mainland has become a "world factory" in the past 10 years. Recently, China's production of general consumption goods has shifted to other developing countries with cheaper wages recently due to higher wages.

With regard to the manufacture of food and packaging containers, a review of the most suitable places of manufacture in the world is also under way. So far, the largest market is Europe, the United States, Japan and other advanced countries as the center, while the rapid growth of the middle class population and increasing purchasing power in Asia's emerging countries are expected to become a larger market than the advanced countries in the future, so the manufacturing places will move to emerging countries.

8. "innovation"

In general, when developing new products, enterprises usually do it secretly in the company, but it is difficult to have innovative thinking and ideas. Therefore, it is necessary to break this boundary and create new ideas, ideas and concepts, solve technical problems and develop new products through external researchers, technologists, experts, scholars and designers, which is the so-called open innovation. In Europe and the United States, large food and daily necessities factories and food packaging container factories have actively used the open innovation approach, and we can see the results.

9. "Flexible use of it"

From the aspects of warehouse management and shortage management in the supply chain, using RFID as traceability system, improving the efficiency of food packaging container and packaging container material manufacturing and sales system, and the impact of the popularity of online sales on packaging container materials are all related to it, and the future is more likely.
