Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where plastic sheets are heated to form temperature to easily bend that plastic sheet in order to form desired product. This thermoforms packaging is used to pack food and maintain its freshness while transporting or shipping. In addition, they also protect and increase the shelf life of the product. Brand owners, retailers, and food processors specifically prefer thermoform containers for packaging. In thermoforming process, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are commonly used resins. The thermoform packaging is widely used in packaging automobile spare parts, electronic devices, medicines, and food products so as to add extra life and protect them from damage.

The concept of digital printing for packaging is specifically introduced to attract customers. This method includes printing of digital images or text on the product packaging. Digital printing concept is introduced in the packaging for expansion of graphic arts, commercial printing, specialty printing, the point of purchase, building wraps, and so on. Digital printing for packaging compared to traditional printing reduces prepress preparatory phase. These graphics are directly taken from the computerized file and transferred into printing equipment. Digital printing for packaging is easier and time-saving comparatively. This printing method is used to make more personalization and unique products outlook. The cost of digital printing and offset printing varies to some extent. However, set-up cost of digital printing is less than offset printing whereas unit cost per copy is quite higher as compared to offset printing.

Packaging is the process of the casing and protecting products available for sale, distribution, end-use, and storage. The rigid plastics are most toughened plastics used in varied applications for packaging products or materials. They are highly preferred for industrial purpose due to properties such as easily moldable, light in weight, non-corrosive, and cheap. Rigid plastic packaging is particularly used to increase the shelf life of the product. Plastic packaging includes different types such as ampules, bottles, aluminum bottles, cans, jars, corrugated cases, and aerosol containers.

Packaging is a reliable technology used to secure the product from getting damaged and contaminated specifically consumables like food and liquids. The packaging of liquid demands high seal integrity, the toughness of packaging materials, and resistive to cracking, in order to avoid the leakage, degradation and deliver the products in complex transportation. Liquid packaging which includes paperboard materials has turned out to be an efficient packaging solution in the industry and proved itself as a better alternative to plastic and glass bottles packaging. It has decreased the cost of transportation, by delivering 3x volumes in a single trip depending on the source of transportation used. This packaging technique has been widely applied for many semi-solid products packing.

A type of the packaging system is the controlled intelligent packaging which inhabits intelligent functions such as recording, sensing, quality improvement. The controlled intelligent packaging is used for the marketing purpose and also helps in protecting the products.

Specialty food ingredients consist of unique features such as emulsification, processing aids, nutritional enhancement, preservation, and coloring to meet the customer demand. They enhance the texture, shelf life, and stability of the food products. Specialty food ingredients are widely used in the food processing industry for the different applications that include convenience food, bakery and confectionery, dairy and functional food items, and meat and seafood products. Advanced technologies that qualify the specialty ingredients are encapsulation technologies, which include nano-encapsulation, spray drying, ribosomes, fluidized bed coating, micelles, chilling, bio-encapsulation, and others.
