In the last ten years, nanotechnology offers enormous opportunities for creative food packaging technologies that favor customers and businesses alike. Even at an early stage of improvement of the material properties of packaging, nanotechnology will have significant advantages and will require continuing investments of nanotechnological applications in packaging materials. Nanotechnology may offer a range of advantages in the context of advanced functional properties to render food packaging. Nanotechnology can improve food safety, making it convenient and creating modern product processing and innovative product and storage functions. However, all technologies are still at an intermediate level, and most of them, at least in the short term, are looking for good quality products. Also, nanomaterials can be used for the production of packaging, which keeps the product fresher indoors for longer food life and improves food safety. Smart packaging with nanosensors can also provide customers with inside knowledge of the food condition. Sensors can warn or inform consumers of the exact nutritional status contained therein before the food is spoiled. Nanotechnology is transforming the production of the entire packaging company.
