Food Protection and Convenience - Trends in Household Packaging

Experts will be lecturing on the following subjects:

Overview of interactive packaging trends

Processing new materials for packaging

Designing packaging that delights more customers and frustrates fewer

Allergens. A growing challenge

Antimicrobial packaging: Increasing food safety and shelf life of meat and meat products

Practical sessions:
Eye Tracking - Re-heating Instructions - Packaging Testing - Inclusive Design

The trend towards convenience is unbroken. Less time to plan and prepare meals, fewer family meals, a growing lack of cooking skills plus the general wish to reduce time and effort for cooking is one side of this ongoing social and behavioural change. At the same time, people expect higher food quality, are more adventurous in terms of cooking styles and ingredients, and last but not least put greater emphasis on fresh and healthy food.

What does this mean for household packaging? On the basis of this changed lifestyle, what is the best way to protect food and ensure food safety? How is packaging design responding? Are there new materials available that meet the requirements of the convenience trend at home?

The 9th Round Table of the Cofresco Forum at Campden BRI, UK, on 27 November 2014 will focus on these questions and give a comprehensive overview of the relevant research.
