Using Independent Packaging Professionals Links Technical Resources, 1990 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
Microwave foods and packaging have set the pace for unprecedented new product activity in 1990...THE MICROWAVE DECADE. Packaging will focus on designs and materials that have consumer-purchase appeal, are user friendly, and made of environmentally acceptable products designed specifically for microwave oven use. Food technologists and packaging engineers are confronted with an array of choices in design, shapes, materials used, and manufacturing processes to produce specified design. These issues should be researched and discussed in concert with the independent packaging professional and company manager before finalizing package specifications and production. Only when all issues are fully re-searched can successful microwave products be developed.
