Packaging of a product not only ensures a safe and secure reach to the end-user, but also significantly affects the way the product is presented to the consumers from the marketing perspective. The food and beverage packaging has majorly shifted from traditional packaging to advanced packaging. Traditional packaging only pertains to issues related to protection from factors which are external. However, advanced packaging has interactions which are internal (active packaging) and external (intelligent packaging) with the environment; and improves the overall visual appeal of the products. That is why the manufacturers of food and beverages and packaging manufacturers are exploring the ways by which physical, chemical and microbial textures change inside the packaged food.

Apart from that, smart and active packaging also makes easy the process of bulk transportation.
