Food packaging lies at the very heart of the modern food industry and very few foods are sold unpackaged. Good packaging prevents waste and ensures that the food retains its desired quality throughout its shelf life. Despite its importance and the key role that packaging plays, it is often regarded as, at best, somewhat superfluous, and, at worst, a serious waste of resources and an environmental menace. Such views arise because, by the time most consumers come into contact with a package, its job, in many cases, is almost over.
