Abstract :
This article examines the major effects and changes in packaging. A review of fresh meat packaging conditions in America shows the developments in modern packaging and with 60% currently and 49% in the last two years, its markets have moved towards a high level of packaging and in this case, there has been a decrease in line production for fresh meat by 69% of fresh meat in this way in the last two years compared to 63% in 2004. There were reasons for its growth up to 48% in kit and production shelves between 1988 and 2003. Modern packaging is dedicated to meet the needs of customers outside of this industry and there are no restrictions on production that are applied in the traditional method, and the use of radiation and canning in the modern method, as well as heating with microwaves, have played a role in its development. The costs of raw materials and the need for packaging technology have increased the costs of polyethylene by 20% during the second half of 2003, increasing gas costs in these productions. The levels of these costs are high and the modern method of these materials is based on polylactic and it has caused an increase in the cost of labor and the need for new technology, which is the use of carbon monoxide in this method in America with the use of low oxygen in the form of packaging, which is more accepted by consumers in America.
