Food and Beverage Packaging Solutions

Today’s food and beverage industry wouldn’t exist without advances in packaging equipment. Thanks to the right packaging, food and drink can now be shipped all around the world. A box of cookies or crackers stays fresh, and a bottle of soda pop stays fizzy.

Viking Plastic Packaging, Inc. provides packaging machinery for the food and beverage industry as part of our full-service packaging solution.

Why Packaging Matters in the Food and Beverage Industry

Packaging can be iconic, but it’s about function as much as appearance. The right packaging system for the food and beverage industry will help to:

  • Create consistent branding: Packaging builds brand recognition, whether the design of the package is unique or not. A customer can see a brand’s bright red logo from across the store and know that their favorite treat is in stock. The design of food or drink packaging can also align with the rest of a brand’s advertising, creating symmetry and familiarity. 
  • Minimize losses: Packaging is also practical. A vacuum-sealed package of cookies or chips will stay fresh and saleable much longer than cookies or chips sold in bulk. Food or drink packaging also protects the contents inside from damage. A cushioned box will keep delicate snacks from shattering, while a well-sealed can or bottle will prevent liquid from leaking. 
  • Ensure product longevity: Some packaged foods have long shelf lives, which makes them appealing purchases for budget-conscious consumers or shoppers who want to stock a pantry. In the right packaging, certain foods can last months, if not years. 
  • Increase productivity: It’s not only the packaging itself that benefits the food and beverage industry. It’s also the equipment. Automated packaging equipment saves time and money. Using the right equipment, your company can produce more products without having to hire a larger staff or dedicate more time to labor.
