Meat is one product that remains a top seller in every market all over the world. However, it is also true that a host of packaging issues accompany this product. These packaging woes have been a source of serious concern for manufacturers, retailers, and customers alike. Some of these issues are mentioned below:
- Meat products require strict adherence to their ‘best before date’ due to their perishable nature. No customer would want to buy a meat product whose ‘best by’ date is round the corner, further shortening its shelf life.
- We all store meat products in the freezer, but not all packaging can fit easily in there. If the meat is stored in a cardboard box, it will not fit the freezer of a small fridge.
- Meat is sold in pieces/ boneless chunks/ filets that occupy much greater space and thus storing them becomes a challenge.
- A meat product that doesn’t smell fine doesn’t end up at the dinner table. It shows that meat packaging should be completely permeable to outside odor. Similarly, the meat odor should be locked inside the packaging as it is not acceptable to have vegetables that smell like meat just because they were kept adjacent to a meat packet.
- The pets at home are the first ones to jump at the meat packets and thus, meat packaging should be sturdy enough to deal with them.
