Industry Challenges:
The rise of tray sealed food has brought convenience to consumers, but also presents challenges for producers. Packaging needs to be functional, balancing factors like cost, sustainability, and product visibility. Extending shelf life is crucial to minimize waste and reach wider markets, but this requires selecting the right tray materials with proper barrier properties. Maintaining consistent seal integrity is paramount for food safety, leak prevention, and preserving product quality – any breaches can lead to spoilage and consumer dissatisfaction. Striking the right balance between these factors is an ongoing challenge for the tray sealed food industry.
