Primary packaging is a key element in the drive by dairy manufacturers to maximize dairy revenues and enhance food safety. But identifying the optimal solutions including material type and container size and design for specific brands can be arduous.
The prospect of cybercrime remains a never-ending, and increasingly dangerous, threat to dairy processors. Attackers are focusing more on critical infrastructures, leading to threats of food tampering and hacks into processing, transportation and storage systems that can result in food spoilage and, consequently, food poisoning and shortages.
The need to keep dairy products safe and fresh while distinguishing offerings is resulting in a greater processor demand for highly functional packaging designs.
Extended shelf life and aseptic processes are becoming increasingly popular as dairy processors seek to keep pace in an increasingly competitive market.
Leveraging packaging and processing technologies that enhance food safety while reducing waste is vital if processors are to enhance efficiencies while operating in a more sustainable manner.
