Food packaging is not just a container, but an important part of daily life in Indonesia. Nowadays, traders rarely use plastic for their goods, not only because plastic is unhealthy, but also because it contributes to the increasing amount of plastic waste. In Indonesia, there are many types of food packaging, such as rice paper, burger paper, cardboard food boxes, and burger packaging. Food packaging has become a part of daily life for the community. Food packaging is not just a container, but an important part of the food safety system that determines the quality and safety of products. In Indonesia, the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) is the main reference to ensure that food packaging meets quality, safety, and environmental requirements.
SNI certification covers the entire process: raw materials, production, quality testing, and labeling. Obtaining SNI certification not only protects consumers but also enhances brand credibility and competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.
