Designs are becoming more functional as processors seek a competitive edge. Likewise, dairy product developers are increasingly leveraging rigid and flexible packages, while automated packaging systems, such as case palletizers, are enabling dairy processors to better cope with labor issues.
Packaging is becoming an increasingly potent dairy merchandising vehicle. Enhancements to labeling, shrink wrap, and printing equipment are resulting in the development of visually appealing containers with recyclable films and sleeves that are tamper-evident and that help extend a product’s shelf life.
Enzymes and cultures are critical for helping to ensure dairy products have the most advantageous flavor and appearance while staying fresher longer. And demand for these ingredients is ballooning.
