Nutraceutical packaging refers to the covering that encases a nutraceutical product, serving various functions such as maintaining cleanliness, ensuring marketability, confining the product, providing identification and characterization, offering protection, showcasing the product, and facilitating promotion. Nutraceutical packaging is essential for various types of products, including herbal products, processed foods (such as beverages, cereal, soup), dietary supplements, genetically engineered foods, and isolated nutrients, with the primary purpose of preventing contamination.
The main types of materials used in nutraceutical packaging include polyester (PET), paper, BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene), aluminum, metalized polyester, and others. Polyester (PET) is known for its chemical resistance, non-reactivity with food or liquids, shatter resistance, and suitability for building containers as an alternative to glass. Different packaging types in the nutraceutical industry include bottles, cans, jars, bags and pouches, cartons, stick packs, blister packs, and others. These packaging types utilize various materials such as metal, glass, paperboard, plastic (including polyethylene and polypropylene), and others. Nutraceutical packaging is utilized across several sectors, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, nutraceuticals, and more.
