Packaging foodstuffs is a dynamic process which continually has to respond to the changes in supply and demand which are the result of adaptations to the varying demands of the consumer, changes in retail practices, technological innovations, new materials and developments in legislation, especially with respect to environmental concerns. The packaging chain is, therefore, confronted with a complexity of problems which require an integral multidisciplinary approach.
