CRITICAL ROLE OF PACKAGING IN

use of resources – food supply and
security
oPackaging guarantees quality of

PACKAGING
-- is the art, science and

technology of bringing goods from its
sources to places of consumption at
minimum cost possible
PACKAGING FUNCTONS
A. Containment and Protection

1. To contain a defined volume of
weight of product at a minimum cost.
2. To protect the production from
outside environmental effects such as
water/ water vapor, gases, odor,
microorganisms, dust, shocks,
vibrations, compressive forces etc.
3. To protect the environment from te
product. This is especially important for
those products such as toxic chemicals
which may seriously damage the
environment .
B. Information and Marketability
 It functions as silent salesman by

providing complete information on its
label ( e.g. product and brand name,
content, product features, shelf life,
instruction, etc. couples with an
attractive graphic design that will
silently convince potential buyers to
purchase the product).
Enables products to be stored,
stacked, conveyed, delivered and
distributed to target destinations in
the most effective and efficient
manner.
C. Transport and Storage

PACKAGING
Packaging is the science, art and
technology of enclosing or protecting
products for distribution, storage, and use.
Packaging also refers to the process of
design, evaluation, and production of
packages. Packaging can be described as a
coordinated system of preparing goods for
transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and
end use. Packaging contains, protects,
preserves, transports, informs,
and sells. In many countries it is
fully integrated into government,
business, institutional, industrial,
and personal use.
Common types of Packaging materials
include:
1. Wrappers
2. Bags and sacks
3. Boxes
4. Bottle and jars
5. Pots
6. Plastic films
7. Paper and paperboard
8. Metal cans
1. WRAPPERS
Banana, vine or plantain leaves are
used for wrapping certain types of food
(e.g. steamed dough and confectionery)
and cooked street foods of all types.
Corn husk is used to wrap corn paste or
unrefined block sugar.
Indigenous packaging materials are still
very much in use today, these are:
 Young buri fronds or coconut leaves are
used for wrapping all kinds of suman.
Mature banana leaves are folded into
little boxes to keep carabao milk cheese,
kesong puti, moist and fresh. Banana
leaves are also used as tamales wrappers.
Small palomaria seed shells sealed with
red paper are used as container for
kalamay, a local delicacy made of
galapong (rice flours), gata (coconut milk)
and brown sugar. About 10 pieces of shells
are tied together with bamboo strips.
Bamboo strips are woven to form
kaing, a storage and domestic
shipping container to fruits and
vegetables.
 Pandan leaves are shaped into
banig pouches from La Union,
patupat, a sticky dessert made of
glutinous reice and molasses.
Paper wrappers are use for some
types (confectionery, salt, sugar and flour
that are relatively stable (newsprint should
not be used as the ink is toxic). This
materials are a good solution for products
that are consumed soon after purchase as
they are cheap and readily available.
