laconic, cute, with big "dumplings" head, a few hair like folds the steamed stuffed bun, coupled with a round black eyes and smiling

mouth, very interesting.

variety of tastes, but it is not only used for the solid food, can also be used for liquid food, such as soup, cocktail, soda and

Coffee etc.. Wiki edible films not only will not pollute the environment, but also can eat.

edible packaging, natural materials, packaging, new environmental protection materials. Or the use of recycled materials, including

recycling convenient, facilitate the separation of materials. Or facilitate the repeated use of materials. Green or manufacturing

process. Or try to simplify the packaging, including packaging, packaging it appropriate to give up.

egg", Turbot, melamine...... Come one after another "problem food" event, let people again and again "appreciate" unscrupulous

operators forget honour at the prospect of profits "black heart", but also exposed many "black holes exist in the food safety

supervision system". So in the design of food packaging, food security. Mainly through several channels, one is the security design,

anti-counterfeit printing on the corresponding packing, two is affixed label, from the practice proved that add anti-counterfeit

label is a more effective method. Anti fake label is mainly used in the food industry are: laser anti-counterfeit labels, digital

anti-counterfeit labels, fragile anti-counterfeiting label.
D) food packaging design needs the modern commodity packaging design with e-commerce sales. More and more people choose online

shopping, people can not see the real goods in the shop, only to choose the packaging design. So online packaging design needs to

strengthen the function of packaging: the first, communication function, help identify customer easily and accurately decide. Second,

and marketing. Chinese food packaging design trend must be individualized, green, safe anti-counterfeiting mark, the modern commodity
