In order to satisfy the consumer expectations,
who seeks for safety, quality, convenience and well-
being, years of financial investments and efforts
of technologists and scientists were needed to the
development of packages which consumer uses on a
daily basis, such as aseptic plastic and carton packages,
retortable pouches and plastic packages, resealing and
easy-to-open systems, microwavable packages, high
barrier plastic packages, modified atmosphere packages
and many more. The success of those innovations was due
to integrated development of product/process/packaging/
equipment/packaging material/distribution system.
Concerning the future, multiple technological
advances will be necessary to bring solutions to the
package sector, what has become an important tool
to the producer for obtaining competitive advantage
