The packaging for the cake has strongly changed in ourcountry for the last two decades. Cardboard boxes decorated with printed patterns, which are sometimes used, are gradually replaced by plastic containers and trays. There is nothing surprising in this, the transparency of the polymer material allows you to better examine the confectionery, because you can do it without removing the lid. In addition, the cardboard packaging is not so diverse in shape and size, basically it was produced under a round cake or an oblong roll such as "Fairy Tale".
Polymer containers are practically unlimited inits possible configuration and dimensions. They can be round, oval, square, rectangular. In general, it is possible to reflect the individuality of the proposed product or brand, creating a unique style of product design. Of course, you have to pay for originality, but such costs are of a one-off nature, at the stage of making a mold.
Plastic packaging for cakes is enoughstrong, weighs less than cardboard, it has better impermeability and hygiene, which allows you to store confectionery for longer. Light weight facilitates the delivery of packaging to the manufacturer.
Films from polystyrene, both oriented, soand the usual, from which the packing for cakes is pressed, have a thickness of 400-700 microns. At the same time, the mechanical properties of the container are provided by a mold having stiffeners, which, in turn, make the tartar more beautiful.
Food Polystyrene (PS) is resistant toto the effects of acids contained in food, it is chemically passive, does not emit any substances into the environment, which guarantees its complete harmlessness. However, this quality is also a drawback. It does not decompose (as well as other used disposable packaging) and gradually clogs the environment. The only way out of this situation is to become a well-organized system for the utilization of polymers.
Another advantage of plastic packaging for cakes is low cost. The buyer of the final product pays for both the contents and containers, which means that it is possible to please him with a lesser price.
Packing for cakes consists, as a rule, of twoparts - the substrate and the lid. Sometimes they are made of plastic of different colors or the bottom part is made opaque. Closing the finished product is very easy.
Today, surprise no one with a cake of ice cream.This is a very delicious treat, but few people think that it needs a special container. The fact is that not every polymer can withstand strong cooling without losing its properties, and the cardboard boxes are soaked when moisture gets on them. Plastic packaging for cakes can be frost-resistant, which makes it simply irreplaceable in conditions of low temperatures created in freezers.
Apparently, the packaging for cakes made of transparent polystyrene has a great future, because for today it simply does not have an alternative.
