3D printing technology applied in smart packaging for food preservation
Background
Smart packaging, utilizing real-time monitoring and active preservation, offers significant potential to extend food shelf life. 3D printing technology provides a transformative approach for manufacturing next-generation smart packaging systems, leveraging its strengths in design flexibility and material compatibility. A key novelty is its ability to enable multifunctional integration and highly customized structures, which are challenging with conventional methods, aligning with the growing emphasis on sustainability and intelligent food science.
Scope and approach
This review critically examines the integration of 3D printing and smart packaging for food preservation. It focuses on core aspects including innovative material development, advanced design principles for functional packaging, and the convergence of preservation and sensing capabilities. The analysis addresses applications such as antimicrobial packaging, real-time freshness indicators, and customized protective structures, along with current challenges and potential strategies.
Key findings and conclusions
3D-printed smart packaging exhibits superior barrier properties against gases and moisture, active preservation through embedded bioactive compounds, and improved material efficiency compared to conventional approaches. It supports diverse, bio-material-based functional packaging systems including antimicrobial packaging, real-time quality monitoring sensors, and tailored structures that control internal atmospheres. Its innovative capacity to combine multiple functions within customized designs addresses limitations of traditional packaging. Despite persistent challenges in standardization, material-process optimization, and scalability, 3D printing demonstrates substantial potential for advancing sustainable food systems. Addressing these issues through targeted research and safety protocols will promote its adoption as a leading platform for next-generation food preservation.
