Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food throughout the distribution chain. Without packaging, the processing of food can become compromised as it is contaminated by direct contact with physical, chemical, and biological contaminants. In recent years, the development of novel food packaging (modified atmosphere & active packaging) has not only increased the shelf life of foods, but also their safety and quality - therefore bringing convenience to consumers. Directly related, and interlinked, with food packaging is the concept of shelf life - the length of time that foods, beverages, pharmaceutical drugs, chemicals, and many other perishable items are given before they are considered unsuitable for sale, use, or consumption.

食品包装在整个分销链中对食品的保存起着至关重要的作用。如果没有包装，食品加工过程可能会受到影响，因为食品会直接接触物理、化学和生物污染物而受到污染。近年来，新型食品包装（改良气调和活性包装）的发展不仅延长了食品的保质期，还提高了食品的安全性和质量，从而为消费者带来了便利。与食品包装直接相关且相互关联的是保质期的概念——即食品、饮料、药品、化学品和许多其他易腐烂物品在被认为不适合销售、使用或消费之前所保留的时间长度。
