  There is no doubt that food plays an indispensable role in human life. With the sound development of our material base, people have put forward higher requirements for food supply. However, how many people realize the importance of food packaging? Generally speaking, proper food packaging has three advantages: protection, promotion and transportation. This article will show you how these advantages work and how we can benefit from food packaging.

  Prevent food from spoiling
  Food safety is a top priority, only in the shelf life will not harm our health. Therefore, we apply food packaging materials and technologies to prevent biological, physical or chemical changes in food from its manufacture to its sale to consumers. Take Tetra Pak for example. It has a high market share in beverage packaging because of its high-tech use of paper, aluminum and plastic as air and light barriers. Can greatly extend food shelf life. Good and proper food packaging will undoubtedly keep food fresh and delicious.
  Easy to transport
  We can find bottles, bags, cans, boxes and other types of food packaging. Why are these different containers made? This is because it greatly eases transportation and prevents direct contact with air, water or pollution. Usually, people carry liquid goods in bottles and bulk food in bags.
  To promote the product
  In addition to using environmentally friendly materials and suitable packaging forms, food packaging design is also important. It can help promote your products and increase your sales. Its design elements mainly include color, text and patterns. A successful design is to make full use of these elements according to the performance, characteristics and shape of the product, so as to attract consumers to buy. Here are two examples.
  
  Correct food packaging design
  In terms of colors, we think red represents passion and love, while gold represents loyalty and luxury. Apart from the ribbon, there were two identical boxes of chocolates, with almost identical packaging design: one with a gold bow, the other decorated with red ribbon flowers. Online results showed that the second piece was more popular and garnered better sales over valentine's Day. The sellers, well aware of the traditional way of thinking about color, successfully promoted the products of the season.
  In terms of wording, it also has a crucial impact on food packaging design. In addition to basic and essential product information, companies can print unique words such as slogans to incentivise purchases. For example, a bag of food with the words "equal price plus" in bold on the outside will sell well. Don't ignore the magic of these words; It can pick up on subtle psychological responses to discounts. From the above cases, we can find that good food packaging design can become an effective way of advertising at a lower cost.
