The choice of wholesale food packaging plays a crucial role in impacting food preservation and shelf life. Here's how:

Barrier Properties: Different AKI restaurant packaging supplies have varying levels of barrier properties. For instance, metal cans and glass jars provide an excellent barrier against oxygen and light, protecting the food from spoilage and deterioration. This extends the shelf life of the food by preventing oxidation and photochemical reactions.

Moisture Control: Packaging materials also vary in their ability to control moisture. Packaging that effectively prevents moisture from entering or escaping the package is essential for preserving the quality and safety of the food. For example, vacuum-sealed bags can remove air and maintain optimal moisture levels, preserving freshness.

Protection from Microorganisms: Packaging can act as a physical barrier to microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Some materials, like plastic films, are designed to be antimicrobial, further extending the shelf life. Properly sealed packaging also prevents contamination by external microorganisms.
