It also shows the product that is labeled to show any?nutrition?information on the food being consumed. Functions of food packaging Packaging has several objectives: Physical protection?- The food enclosed in the package may require protection from, among other things,?shock, vibration, compression,?temperature, etc. Barrier protection?- A barrier from?oxygen,?water vapor, dust, etc., is often required.?Permeation?is a critical factor in design. Some packages contain?desiccants?or?Oxygen absorbers?to help extend shelf life.?Modified atmospheres?or controlled atmospheres are also maintained in some food packages. Keeping the contents clean, fresh, and safe for the intended?shelf life?is a primary function.

Packages can be engineered to help reduce the risks of?package pilferage [p?lfr?d?] : Some package constructions are more resistant to pilferage and some have pilfer indicating seals. Convenience?- Packages can have features which add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale, opening, reclos
