One of the most crucial steps in any food product development program is food packaging.  Make the most of your research and development strategy with the following GFTC services:

  • Package integrity testing: Test your product's integrity and strength under various environmental conditions
  • Closure testing
  • Permeability testing: This includes oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) or moisture transmission rate (MTR)
  • Oxygen indicator technology: Use our patented technology to assess the oxygen barrier properties of packaging
  • Shelf-life testing and improvement: Maintain or extend your product's shelf life by selecting the appropriate materials and packing techniques
  • Sustainable packaging
  • Food packaging labelling
  • Packaging technology research
  • Troubleshooting packaging issues
