Food Research Lab provides expert consultation to help you pick apt packaging materials and methods for your food and beverage products.
Food packaging and labelling play a significant role in influencing the marketability of a food product. A good food product without proper packaging will not appeal to the consumers.
Packaging methods and materials evolve as the environment changes and the consumers' need for Ready-To-Eat, Ready-To-Cook, mildly processed food products that are palatable have a long shelf life and preserve quality rises. Metals (steel, tin, and aluminium), plastics, glass, wood, cardboard, papers, and other materials are all utilized in packing.

Food Research Lab offers you a wide range of food packaging solutions along with support and technical advice from our experienced food technologists.
