Three Ps on plastic packaging

Have you ever wondered what three Ps on plastic packaging means?

1. Concepts on plastic packaging

Plastic packaging is a product used to wrap and hold items in order to preserve the quality of their contents and protect the items from decay right since they are being packed, stored in warehouses, shipping and reach consumers.

2.Functions of plastic packaging

The Functions of plastic packaging are conveyed in three Ps:

P1: Presentation. The first letter P provides us with packaging information including

1. Product name
2. Producer’s Name and address o
3. Product weight
4. Product Ingredients
5. Product origin
6. Instructions for use
7. Production and expiry dates
8. How to preserve
9. Nutritious factors (if any)
10. Barcode
11. Product quality announcement
12. The language in which the product is described in
13. Customer consultancy
14. Product code (if any)
15. Halal logo (if any)
16. Recycled sign

P2: Protection

The second letter P represents what the packaging supplier typically provides for their clients or how the packaging supplier caters to clients’ requirements if the clients have a qualified packaging laboratory to conduct experiments.
1. Shock-proof
2. Impenetrability
3. Friction-caused Corrosion-proof

P3: Preservation

The third letter P is similar to the second.

1. Retain the quality of the product inside the packaging until use, as follows:

1.1. The product is not softened due to penetration by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide (O2, N2, CO2) and steam (H2O)
1.2. The product’s flavor is intact thanks to penetration by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide (O2, N2, CO2) and steam (H2O).

3. Classification of plastic packaging

3.1 By applications:

- Is the packaging in direct contact with the product
For example: 3-in-1 coffe stick or sachets

- Is the packaging in indirect contact with the product
For example: a packet of 32 3-in-1 coffee sachets x 16g

3.2 By layers:

- Single-layer films: are films with only one layer, such as shopping bags, and nylon bags

- Multi-layer films: are films with multiple combined layers, such as packets of tea, coffee, confectionery and detergents.

4. Abbreviations of packaging raw materials
