The Uniqueness of Powdered Food Packaging

November 20, 2024

        In our daily life, food packaging is varied. In most of them, the packaging of powdered food has its own unique requirements.

        Powdered food, such as milk powder, coffee powder, flour, etc., need to be packaged with extra care. First of all, ensure the cleanliness of the packaging environment. The packaging workshop must be spotless, and the staff must also wear clean work clothes, hats and masks, just like guards guarding treasures, to provide a pure "home" for powdered food.

        Compared with ordinary food packaging, powdered food packaging is very different. Ordinary food may be in block or liquid form, and the main considerations when packaging are sealing and freshness. Powdered food, on the other hand, pay more attention to moisture and leak-proof. These powders are like small sponges, which can easily absorb moisture in the air. Once damp, they will affect the taste or even deteriorate. Therefore, the choice of packaging materials is crucial.

        In the production process, automated equipment is usually used for the packaging of powdered food. These devices are like precise magicians, which can quickly and accurately put powder into packaging bags or cans. Moreover, in order to ensure that the weight of each package of powder is accurate, there will be a weighing device for strict control.

The following are the main things to do when packaging powder:

        Sterilization: Powdered products are easily contaminated by microorganisms during production, storage and transportation, so they need to be sterilized. Common sterilization methods include high-temperature heat treatment, ultraviolet radiation and ozone disinfection. Choose the appropriate sterilization method to ensure product quality and hygiene standards.

‌        Drying: Powdered products need to be dried before packaging to control their moisture content. Excessive moisture will affect the quality and shelf life of the product, and it is easy to cause mildew and microbial contamination. Drying methods include spray drying, vacuum drying and hot air drying.

‌        Quality inspection: Before packaging, powdered products need to be inspected for quality, including physical and chemical indicators, microbial indicators, appearance and taste. If quality problems are found, corresponding treatment measures need to be taken to ensure product quality. 

        Packing method: Powdered products are generally packaged in plastic bags, cartons and other packaging methods. When packaging, attention should be paid to sealing and hygiene standards to avoid secondary contamination of the product.

        In terms of packaging types, common ones include plastic bag packaging, canned packaging and carton packaging. Choose appropriate packaging materials based on the product's target market, consumer preferences, transportation methods, and environmental protection requirements. For example, plastic bags have moisture-proof, dust-proof, and oxidation-proof functions, and are low in cost, making them suitable for packaging bulk vermicelli; corrugated boxes are sturdy and easy to recycle, suitable for protecting products from damage during transportation.

        Plastic bag packaging is light and low in cost, suitable for some relatively affordable powder food. Of course, you should also choose good quality plastic bags to ensure their sealing and moisture-proof properties. Canned packaging is more sturdy and more durable, which can better protect the powder from external influences.

        Moreover, the appearance of canned packaging is usually more exquisite, which can enhance the grade of the product. Carton packaging is environmentally friendly and beautiful, suitable for some high-end powder food.

        In terms of materials, materials with good moisture-proof properties are generally selected. For example, aluminum foil laminated bags can effectively block the intrusion of moisture and oxygen and keep the powder fresh. Iron cans can prevent the powder from being squeezed and deformed, and can also play a certain moisture-proof role.

        In the storage and transportation of powdered food, after packaging, the product needs to be stored in a dry, cool, ventilated environment, and pay attention to moisture, fire, and sun protection. During transportation, the packaging needs to be strictly inspected and protective measures are taken to ensure the quality and safety of the product.

        In logistics, if powdered products need to be transported internationally, packaging is crucial. It is necessary to choose suitable and safe containers, such as plastic or metal cans, and ensure that the containers do not have any signs of damage or leakage. You can consider using double-layer packaging and mark "powder" or "fragile items" on the outer packaging to alert the transportation personnel and customs inspectors.

        Next, let's take a look at some cases of powdered food packaging. A certain brand of milk powder is packaged in iron cans, with cute cartoon patterns printed on the cans, which not only attracts the attention of babies, but also protects the milk powder from moisture. Another brand of coffee powder is packaged in aluminum foil composited bags, with a one-way exhaust valve on the bag, which can discharge the gas in the bag to prevent the coffee powder from oxidation and deterioration.

        Speaking of coffee powder, Nestle coffee powder has to be mentioned. Nestle coffee powder is usually packaged in cans with a simple and elegant can design and very good sealing. There is also a layer of aluminum foil inside the can for secondary protection, which further enhances the moisture-proof effect. Such a packaging design not only ensures the freshness and taste of the coffee powder, but also facilitates consumers to store and use it.

        In short, we need to be extra careful when packaging powdered food. Only by choosing the right packaging type, materials and strictly controlling the production process can the delicate powdered food maintain good quality and bring more deliciousness and enjoyment to our lives.
