Paper packaging for products: the pros and cons

In ordinary life, a person hardly thinks about how firmly food packaging has entered everyday life. Boxes, cans, bags, bottles, films, disposable plates - all this surrounds us, bringing both convenience, as well as a number of problems, for example, difficulties with the destruction and processing of a huge mass of spent packaging. In this situation, the question arises: is it not better to return to the good old paper as the right way to pack and preserve food?

Consider the main pros and cons of paper packaging for products.

Pros:

ease of production;
environmental friendliness;
good opportunities for drawing images and printing;
ease of destruction and recycling.

Minuses:

have a small capacity;
easy to tear, deteriorate when wet, become prey for rodents;
poorly protect the product from external influence;
more expensive to manufacture.
Speaking of plastic packaging, it is worth noting that it protects products from spoilage much better and longer and does not almost spoil itself. In addition, its creation is cheaper than the manufacturer. Comparative analysis shows that plastic packaging is safe, reliable, durable and beneficial in many respects. But the paper (cardboard) version has a lot of advantages. Therefore, manufacturers often combine the advantages of both packages, making paper containers with holes and placing inside it a plastic bag, the contents of which are perfectly visible and at the same time preserved.
