FOOD MARKET

• As a handling unit
• Protection against damage, contamination and spoilage.
• Shelf-life extension through barriers against light, moisture and gas. Food waste accounts for substantial CO2 emissions, preventing this with good packaging is key.
• Communication - Consumer packaging needs an excellent printing quality -and needs to communicate the right information.
