Tamper Evident Packaging Design Features - Food Uses

Tamper evident food packaging continues to take on a higher profile as processors, retailers and consumers fret about the possibility of bio-terrorism and other threats to the food supply. Product damage caused by consumers opening packages to sample products is a very costly problem and has fueled interest in tamper evidence.

The focus on tamper evidence is well founded. Malicious tampering can be incredibly expensive for the victimised company.

Many manufacturers and processors now use induction sealing to seal the top of plastic and glass containers. This process takes place after the container has been filled and capped and it keeps unwanted pollutants from seeping into food products and may also assist in extending the shelf life of certain products.

Flat pouches, also known as pillow packs, are widely used for office and restaurant service and is usually what ground coffee and powdered mixes are packed in.

After the high profile case of baby food poisoning jars of food started appearing with a metal bubble-top lid known as a 'safety button' which popped out if the jar was opened and stayed flat if it was in pristine condition. Newer jars of food now tend to come with a plastic wrap around the edge of the lid.
