The role of antimicrobial product in the Packaging Industry

The products available at retail stores pass through several stages of material handling. Firstly, it is manufactured in the factory. Then, the same is sent to the distributor. After staying in the warehouse for quite some time, it reaches the retail store. Finally, the item is delivered to the consumer’s home.

With such a long supply chain, the product is exposed to different environments and surroundings. There are loads of microbes that attack the product, deteriorating the quality, and challenging its safety. When the product packaging is equipped with an efficacious solution such as an antimicrobial product, then the product remains safe and hygienic.

Antimicrobial compounds can prevent the pathogenicity of microorganisms. Their role is to create an uncongenial atmosphere for bacteria and moulds. The antimicrobials work to deter the microorganisms from growing and attacking the product. They can successfully secure the products such as toys, surface coatings, textiles, medical supplies, etc.

The usage of antimicrobials in packaging has been rising exponentially. With the growth in the packaging market, the use and demand for antimicrobials are also rising. The growing health awareness among consumers has also become a driving force for the antimicrobial market.

In Antimicrobial packaging, antimicrobial substances are incorporated into the product packaging so that microbial growth can be delayed or prevented. This saves the products from getting contaminated at the time of transportation, storage, and display. To develop antimicrobial activity, different methods of antimicrobial solutions are used. Sometimes the compound is placed in the packaging material and sometimes the antimicrobial substance coatings are applied. All these systems remain effective in preserving the quality and ensuring the product remains fresh.
