The Advantages of Paper-Based Food Packaging
Paper is Made Up of Natural Resources
Paper is made up of natural resources such as trees, wood pulp, and oil. These resources must be harvested and processed into paper for it to be created. Paper production can have a large impact on the environment and the communities that rely on forests for their livelihoods – with this in mind, paper bag manufacturers make sure to source materials from FSC certified providers. When you use FSC-certified papers, you are sure they are coming from an environmentally accountable provider because FSC advocates the equitable management of natural resources.
Paper is Environmentally-friendly
Paper food packaging is environmentally-friendly as paper is biodegradable and can be recycled up to 6 to 7 times before paper fibers can no longer be reenacted into paper. In addition, the fact that paper can be made from post-consumer waste, screams paper is more environmentally beneficial than single-use plastics which are relatively harmful.
Paper Can be Use in Multiple Ways
Paper is a versatile material that can be formed into different shapes and sizes. It is also more durable than many people realize. Paper-based food packaging can be used for wide variety of forms:
- Air sickness bags or bags for vomiting
- Wrapping paper
- Wax bags for food
- Cardboard boxes
- Milk cartons
- Colorful paper bags
Paper Can be Printed on
Paper food packaging shows a great advantage when it comes to marketing your business. It is also an excellent choice when it comes to bending, folding and cutting. You can print on paper with any of the latest printing technologies. Colored paper bags with aesthetic designs are also available. You can use paper to create attractive labels for your product.
Lightweight and Have Different Purposes
Generally, paper is lightweight, which means it is easy to carry and store. But, depending on its method of production and packaging purpose, paper can be found as Kraft paper, sulphite paper, greaseproof paper, Glassine, or parchment paper which have differences in weights.
Kraft paper is one of the strongest papers and widely used for packaging flour, sugar, and dried fruits and other purposes. Kraft paper is made from wood pulp, which means it’s a renewable resource. It’s also good for the environment because it doesn’t need heavy chemicals to produce.
Sulphite paper is lighter and particularly weaker and is used to wrap snack foods and sugary foods.
Greaseproof paper and Glassine have both dense cellulose fibres within them that improve both of these papers’ oil resistance, making them perfect to package snacks, biscuits, fast foods, and other greasy foods.
Parchment paper, or vegetable parchment, is cellulose-based paper that has been processed to give it added properties such as non-stickiness, grease resistance, and humidity resistance. It is commonly used in baking as a disposable non-stick, grease-resistant work surface.
Folded Paper Boxes
These boxes are made from a single sheet of paper that is folded and glued to create a box shape. They are great for holding sandwiches, wraps, and other similar items. Folded paper boxes are often used in fast food restaurants and cafes.
Fluted Paper Boxes
These boxes are made from corrugated paper, which provides extra insulation and protection for the food inside. They are great for holding hot or greasy foods, such as fried chicken or french fries. Fluted paper boxes are often used in fast food chains and food trucks.
Microwavable Paper Boxes
These boxes are made from specially treated paper that is safe to use in the microwave. They are great for holding meals that need to be reheated, such as leftovers or pre-made meals. Microwavable paper boxes are often used in restaurants and meal delivery services.
Grease-resistant Paper Boxes
These boxes are made from paper that has been treated to resist grease and oil. They are great for holding foods that are greasy or oily, such as pizza or burgers. Grease-resistant paper boxes are often used in pizzerias and burger joints.
Clamshell Container
This container is made from two separate pieces of paperboard that are hinged together, creating a shell-like structure that can be easily opened and closed. The clamshell container is ideal for foods that are a bit messier or require more protection, like burgers or saucy pasta dishes.
Windowed Paper Boxes
These boxes have a clear window on the top, which allows customers to see the food inside. They are often used for bakery items like cakes and pastries, as well as for salads and sandwiches.
Other Paper Boxes
In addition to these types of paper boxes, there are also a variety of food paper products that can be used as takeaway containers. These include paper bags, paper cups, and paper trays. Paper bags are great for holding snacks or small items, while paper cups are perfect for hot or cold drinks. Paper trays are great for holding larger items, such as burgers or salads.
Coated Unbleached Kraft Paper
This is the basic form of kraft paper. It's brown and heavily resistant to ripping.
Coated Kraft Paper
This is the same standard kraft paper with a white bleach additive. The bleach makes the paper very white, allowing for more creative freedom with design choices.
Virgin Kraft Paper
This is made from raw pulp, which is processed natural wood. This is the most potent form of Kraft paper.
Recycled Kraft Paper
This is made from pulp consisting of used cardboard boxes, books, and other materials. It is most commonly used for product boxes, paper bags, and paper cans.
Mixed Kraft Paper
This is made up of a mix of virgin and recycled kraft paper material. It is as strong as virgin paper but is more eco-friendly than its predecessor. It's most commonly used for cardboard envelopes and postage boxes.
Benefits of Corrugated Paper Box for Food and Drink
Protects Food and Drink
Corrugated cardboard provides valuable protection for food and drink items. The secure yet lightweight boxes are also sanitised as part of the manufacturing process. They’re formed and bonded at high temperatures of 100°C or more, making them a hygienic choice that keeps moisture away from products inside.
Keeps Costs Down
With bespoke corrugated packaging, transportation and storage costs are both reduced. Boxes can be designed to be fully collapsible, taking up less space both during transit and upon receipt.
Reduces Waste
Corrugated boxes can be designed around the contents to minimise empty space. This lowers the risk of products moving around during transit and becoming damaged, which helps to increase shelf-life and reduce food waste. When the corrugated board is food-safe for direct contact, it also reduces the need for supplemental packaging inside the box, for a further waste reduction.
Can Be Customised
A custom corrugated box can keep food protected and well-presented from the warehouse to the shop floor, ready for the shelves. For a unique unboxing experience or an eye-catching display, it can be printed inside and out with high-quality print designs and food-safe, water-based ink.
Helps The Environment
Made from a high percentage of recycled materials, corrugated cardboard is an ideal sustainable packaging choice for food and drink. It can be reused multiple times before being recycling again.
Understanding the Requirements of Food for Protection
Firstly physical and chemical composition as well as chemical properties of various type of foods are very different. Therefore different food will need different food box packaging to protect it. Let’s take for example, tea leaves. The packaging should be able to prevent the active ingredients from oxidation and should be highly resistant to moisture. Tea leaves easily absorbs external odours that’s why it is usually packed in plastic bags and then only inserted into a box packaging. Another example would be pastry and cake. They are more to the oily, soft and contains a certain amount of water content in it. In brief, the box packaging should be able to prevent the greasy oxidation as well as to prevent losing the moisture which will cause the cake to harden and dry up. Therefore, food box packaging should be specifically and scientifically design according to the different nature of the food itself.
Choosing Packaging Material Appropriately for Protection Function
Food processing industry selects the packaging material according to food product requirement considering factors like heat sealability, process ability, printability, strength, barrier properties (water, oil and gas barrier), cost-effectiveness, sustainability and legal requirements. There are many types of traditional packaging materials such as metal can, glass bottle, carton and many more. Some other types of modern food packaging materials mainly include papers, plastics, glass, metal, composite materials and others. Here are some details:
Paper Packaging: Paper and board are versatile materials used to package foods. Paper packaging can e.g. be made of parchment paper or have the shape of bags to package loose foods. Cartonboard is commonly used for e.g. liquid and dry foods, frozen foods and fast food. Corrugated board finds broad application in direct contact with food (e.g. pizza boxes) and as secondary packaging. Boxes are one of the most common types of food packaging. They can be made with wood, corrugated fiberboard or metal, making them more resistant to damage. With the proper combination of design look and feel, the box packaging can look very top of the line minus the high-end pricing.
Composite Material: The most widely used flexible packaging material is from composite materials. In current times there are more than 28 types of plastics use for food packaging. In fact, there are hundreds of multi-layer composites containing plastics. Generally composite materials are about 2-7 layers but if needed it can go above 10 layers. Combine usage of plastic, aluminium foil, tissue and other substrates can easily meet the requirements of many different food packaging requirements.
Plastic: As many as 6 kinds of plastics is in use for food packaging. Those various types have different degrees of polymerization, molecular structures, additives and properties. Therefore you have to be smart on choosing which kind will suit your requirements best. Undoubtedly, a wrong choice may result in food degrading or even loss of value. For example, if apples are pack in corrugated box instead of a PVC plastic corrugated box, the apples might decay faster. This is because the apples cannot maintain a healthy breathing. PVC have a better performance in blocking carbon dioxide, oxygen and moisture.
Glass Bottle: Glass bottle are traditionally more fragile and weights more. For modern packaging, technology has shift it to thin-walled light bottle which is specially treated that can reduce the weight down by almost half. Furthermore the strength is greatly improved. Glass container in food packaging is a very competitive market.
Metal Can: Metal can is mainly made of tinplate, aluminized steel sheet that is made of 3 piece cans. In this modern time, cans made of thin aluminium plates are in use. There are also the 3 piece can, shaped can, spray can and more.
Sustainability
Food packaging was identified as an essential element to address the key challenge of sustainable food consumption and is gaining interest among scientists. Sustainable food packaging which is clearly about minimizing the environmental footprint of packed food. An innovative sustainable packaging aims to address food waste and loss reduction by preserving food quality, as well as food safety issues by preventing food-borne diseases and food chemical contamination. Moreover, it must address the long-term crucial issue of environmentally persistent plastic waste accumulation as well as the saving of oil and food material resources. However, packaging is usually wrongly considered as an additional economic and environmental cost rather than an added value for waste reduction. Moreover, primary packaging is, currently, not always well adapted to the food needs and therefore does not efficiently and sufficiently contribute to maintain the shelf life of the food.
Packaging Design for Brand Awareness
Designing packaging for products can be a little more complicated. It’s not just slapping a sticker onto the cardboard box. First of all, you need to identify the packaging medium. Different materials will define the printing method and number of colors that could be printed on. Some other things to consider.
- The printer’s available printing types & machine
- Packaging materials best suit your needs
- Strength & weight of your final box packaging
- Additional requirements such as embossing, hot stamping, UV finish & etc
Finally, as notice, packaging design is a lot more complicated than a simple plastic bag or cardboard box.
