Jeff Leib, President and CEO of innoseal systems, said that after the outbreak, the fresh food industry can clearly find that the balance between time and distance must be solved, while ensuring the integrity of supply and goods. “We are looking at smaller, more manageable package sizes. In addition, reduce exposure and increase the need for more hygienic delivery.”

Some key solutions are under research and implementation. Leibu said that this means more on-demand size packaging, getting rid of bulk containers and developing smaller and more efficient prepackaged goods. Given the needs of retailers, government regulations and consumers, the packaging industry is developing rapidly and changing.

“As a leader in the field of special flexible packaging for fresh agricultural products, we have a sincere sense of urgency to improve the packaging system, material management and recycling, while maintaining our most important mission, that is, to protect fresh food and contribute to prolonging life,” said Keith fox, President of fox packaging.

During the worst period of the epidemic, the way fox packaging conducted business has changed greatly. Prices in many aspects of its supply chain have risen, and film materials are not easy to obtain. Craig fox, executive vice president of fox packaging, said, “at the same time, orders are piling up and demand has increased significantly.”

“The need for sustainability is not weakened. Our team gives priority to material types and design optimization. By using these data and strengthening our supplier relations, we are improving the efficiency of our product line,” he said, “Although our specialty is in the field of fresh agricultural products, the application of flexible packaging continues to expand to new product lines and types. Vertical bag is a staple food on store shelves that has transitioned to e-commerce because it provides convenient design for store display and transportation. As consumers become more and more aware of their contact points with products, packaging has become a protective barrier to protect products from being affected and reassure buyers. With the development of automation technology Next, packaging will continue to be the preferred design of buyers and consumers. We continue to develop our products with environmental awareness. “
