Chocolate is a product highly sought after by young men and women on supermarket shelves, and it has even become the best gift to show affection for each other.
According to market analysis company data, approximately 61% of surveyed consumers consider themselves' regular chocolate eaters' and consume chocolate at least once a day or week. It can be seen that there is a high demand for chocolate products in the market.
Its smooth, fragrant and sweet taste not only satisfies the taste buds, but also has various exquisite and beautiful packaging that can always make people feel happy instantly, making it difficult for consumers to resist its charm.
Packaging is always the first impression that a product presents to the public, so we must pay attention to the functions and effects of packaging.
Due to the frequent occurrence of quality issues such as frost, spoilage, and long worms in chocolate on the market.
Most of the reasons are due to poor sealing of the packaging or the presence of small crevices that can cause insects to enter and grow on chocolate, which has a huge impact on product sales and image.
When packaging chocolate, it is required to achieve conditions such as preventing moisture absorption and melting, preventing aroma escape, preventing oil precipitation and rancidity, preventing pollution, and preventing heat.
So there are very strict requirements for the packaging materials of chocolate, which not only ensure the aesthetics of the packaging, but also meet the requirements for packaging materials.
The packaging materials for chocolate that appear in the market mainly include aluminum foil packaging, tin foil packaging, plastic soft packaging, composite material packaging, and paper product packaging.
Aluminum foil packaging
Made of PET/CPP two-layer protective film, it not only has the advantages of moisture resistance, airtightness, shading, wear resistance, fragrance retention, non-toxic and odorless, but also has an elegant silver white luster, making it easy to process beautiful patterns and patterns of various colors, making it more popular among consumers.
Both the inside and outside of chocolate must have the shadow of aluminum foil. In general, aluminum foil is used as the inner packaging of chocolate.
Chocolate is a food that melts easily, and aluminum foil can effectively ensure that the surface of chocolate does not melt, extending storage time and making it stored for a longer time.
Tin foil packaging
This is a type of traditional packaging material that has good barrier and ductility, moisture-proof effect, and a maximum acceptable relative humidity of 65%. The moisture in the air has a significant impact on the quality of chocolate, and packaging with tin foil can extend the storage time.
It has the function of shading and preventing heat. When the temperature is high in summer, packaging chocolate with tin foil can prevent direct sunlight, and heat dissipation is fast, making it difficult for the product to melt.
If chocolate products do not meet good sealing conditions, they are prone to the so-called frost phenomenon, and even absorb water vapor, leading to chocolate deterioration
Therefore, as a chocolate product manufacturer, it is important to choose the right packaging material.
Note: Generally, colored tin foil is not heat-resistant and cannot be steamed, and is used for packaging chocolate and other food products; Silver foil can be steamed and resistant to high temperatures.
Flexible packaging
Plastic packaging has gradually become one of the most important packaging materials for chocolate due to its rich functions and diverse forms of display power.
Usually obtained by various composite processing methods such as coating, lamination, and co extrusion of materials such as plastic, paper, and aluminum foil.
It has the advantages of low odor, no pollution, good barrier performance, and easy tearing, and can meet the requirements of avoiding the influence of high temperature during the chocolate packaging process. It has gradually become the main inner packaging material for chocolate.
Composite material packaging
Composed of OPP/PET/PE three-layer materials, it has odorless, good breathability, extended shelf life, and preservation effects. It can withstand low temperatures and is suitable for refrigeration,
It has obvious protective and preservation capabilities, is easy to obtain, easy to process, has a strong composite layer, and low consumption, gradually becoming a commonly used packaging material in chocolate.
The inner packaging is composed of PET and aluminum foil to maintain the luster, aroma, form, moisture and oxidation resistance of the product, extend shelf life, and protect product performance.
There are only a few common packaging design materials for chocolate, and according to their packaging styles, various materials can be selected for packaging.
No matter which packaging material is used, it is aimed at protecting chocolate products, improving product hygiene and safety, and increasing consumer purchasing desire and product value.
Chocolate packaging is undergoing the evolution of packaging materials around the aforementioned needs. The theme of chocolate packaging should follow the trend of the times, and the shape of the packaging can be positioned according to different consumer groups and styles.
In addition, give some small suggestions to chocolate product merchants. Good packaging materials can add added value to your products and improve product quality.
Therefore, when choosing packaging, we cannot only consider the issue of cost savings, and packaging quality is also very important.
Of course, it is also necessary to consider the positioning of one's own product. It is not that exquisite and high-end are better, but sometimes it can backfire, giving consumers a distance and a lack of familiarity with the product.
