Understanding Food Packaging Bags: Types, Functions, and Smart Solutions for Rice Packaging
Food packaging bags are essential for preserving freshness and ensuring safe storage. This article explores various types of food packaging bags by material, shape, function, and manufacturing method. It also highlights Kenwei’s smart solution for rice packaging using a leak-proof multi-head weigher.
Food packaging bags play a vital role in modern food preservation and logistics. As flexible containers made from food-grade plastic films, they are designed for direct contact with food to ensure hygiene, freshness, and convenience in storage and transportation.
In an increasingly globalized market, food packaging has become not just a necessity but also a strategic asset. In developed economies, the percentage of packaged goods is significantly higher, demonstrating how packaging directly contributes to food safety, shelf life, and consumer trust.

Vacuum Packaging for Rice and Similar Grains
Vacuum packaging is widely used for rice and other grains to extend shelf life by reducing oxygen content, preventing mold, pests, and oxidation. However, due to the sharp edges of rice grains, vacuum-sealed bags can easily be punctured, especially during transportation.
Factors like handling, bag friction, and falling impact during distribution increase the risk of packaging failure. To ensure both preservation and protection, the packaging method must match not just the product, but also its circulation environment.
