包裝設(shè)計外文資料翻譯包裝對食品發(fā)展的影響

1、附件1：外文資料翻譯譯文包裝對食品發(fā)展的影響一個消費者對某個產(chǎn)品的第一印象來說包裝是至關(guān)重要的，包括溝通的可取性，可接受性，健康飲食形象等。食品能夠提供廣泛的產(chǎn)品和包裝組合，傳達自己加工的形象感知給消費者，例如新鮮包裝/準備，冷藏，冷凍，超高溫無菌，消毒（滅菌），烘干產(chǎn)品。食物的最重要的質(zhì)量屬性之一，是它的味道，其影響人類的感官知覺，即味覺和嗅覺。味道可以很大程度作退化的處理和/或擴展存儲。其他質(zhì)量屬性，也可能受到影響，包括顏色，質(zhì)地和營養(yǎng)成分。食品質(zhì)量不僅取決于原材料，添加劑，加工和包裝的方法，而且其預期的貨架壽命（保質(zhì)期）過程中遇到的分布和儲存條件的質(zhì)量。越來越多的競爭當中，食品生產(chǎn)商，零

2、售商和供應(yīng)商；和質(zhì)量審核供應(yīng)商有顯著提高食品質(zhì)量以及急劇增加包裝食品的選擇。這些改進也得益于嚴格的冷藏鏈中的溫度控制和越來越挑剔的消費者。保質(zhì)期的一個定義是：在食品加工和包裝組合下，在食品的容器和條件，在銷售點分布在特定系統(tǒng)的時間能保持令人滿意的食味品質(zhì)。保質(zhì)期，可以用來作為一個新鮮的概念，促進營銷的工具。延期或保質(zhì)期長的產(chǎn)品，還提供產(chǎn)品的使用時間，方便以及減少浪費食物的風險，消費者和/或零售商。包裝產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量和保質(zhì)期的主題是在第3章中詳細討論。包裝為消費者提供有關(guān)產(chǎn)品的重要信息，在許多情況下，使用的包裝和/或產(chǎn)品，包括事實信息如重量，體積，配料，制造商的細節(jié)，營養(yǎng)價值，烹飪和開放的指示，除了

3、法律準則的最小尺寸的文字和數(shù)字，有定義的各類產(chǎn)品。消費者尋求更詳細的產(chǎn)品信息，同時，許多標簽已經(jīng)成為多語種。標簽的可讀性是為視障人士的問題，這很可能成為一個對越來越多的老年人口越來越重要的問題。食物的選擇和包裝創(chuàng)新的一個主要驅(qū)動力是為了方便消費者的需求。這里有許多方便的現(xiàn)代包裝所提供的屬性，這些措施包括易于接入和開放，處置和處理，產(chǎn)品的知名度，再密封性能，微波加熱性，延長保質(zhì)期等。在英國和其他發(fā)達經(jīng)濟體顯示出生率下降和快速增長的一個相對富裕的老人人口趨勢，伴隨著更加苛刻的年輕消費者，他們將要求和期望改進包裝的功能，如方便包揭開（百貨配送研究所，IGD）。對零售商而言存在有一個高的成本，供應(yīng)和服

4、務(wù)的貨架體系。沒有儲備足夠的產(chǎn)品品種或及時補充庫存，特別是副食品，如鮮牛奶，可能導致客戶不滿和流失到競爭對手的商店，這正需要保證產(chǎn)品供應(yīng)?，F(xiàn)代化的配送和包裝系統(tǒng)，允許消費者在購買食品時，他們希望在他們想任何時間地點都能享用。近幾年消費者的選擇已在急劇擴大。例如在英國，20世紀60年代和90年代之間在一般超市的產(chǎn)品線的數(shù)量從2000年左右上升到超過18000人（INCPEN）。自20世紀70年代以來，食品衛(wèi)生和安全問題已成為日益重要的關(guān)注和選擇食物的驅(qū)動力。媒體所關(guān)注的一系列問題，如使用化學添加劑和食品污染事故已警示消費者，這些事件都是故意的，惡意篡改的，和在生產(chǎn)過程意外發(fā)生的。然而，許多消費者

5、都沒有充分認識到包裝在維護食品安全和質(zhì)量過程中的重要作用。明顯更改之后的包裝迅速推出，不僅為了保護消費者，而且為了品牌的一個效果，一直是許多預包裝食品。另一個影響一直激勵消費者注重保質(zhì)保鮮、最小加工和對產(chǎn)品的原產(chǎn)地（OECD）的標準給予更多的關(guān)注。消費者直接通過他們的購買方式和它們所產(chǎn)生的包裝廢棄物對環(huán)境的影響。消費者購買包裝作為產(chǎn)品的一部分，包裝的重量，多年來，所包含的產(chǎn)品，相對下降。然而，消費模式產(chǎn)生了更大容量的包裝，由于人口結(jié)構(gòu)的變化和生活方式的變化，這些情況使得包裝體積，而不是包裝的重量，正成為吸引公眾關(guān)注的關(guān)鍵。此外，朝預包裝食品和食品包裝服務(wù)的發(fā)展趨勢，增加了塑料包裝廢棄物進入固體

6、廢物流的金額。零售商和制造商所使用的營銷策略之一，是對環(huán)境的兼容性。然而，消費者往往混淆或發(fā)現(xiàn)它很難界定什么是對環(huán)境負責的或友好的包裝。正是這種缺乏明確的含義，至今無法利用，以使零售商和包裝公司獲得競爭優(yōu)勢。消費者需要明確的信息來指導他們的行動，使大多數(shù)的人差異化。包裝鏈的各部門負責解釋的職能和自身包裝的好處，廠家銷售好的包裝，他們的客戶，產(chǎn)品的廠家，但這一特定的信息到達最終顧客相對較少。包裝在現(xiàn)代快速消費品零售上的發(fā)展，反過來成了促使以滿足其需求的演變的關(guān)鍵。最重要的發(fā)展為食品包裝行業(yè)已出現(xiàn)大型零售集團。這些群體產(chǎn)生巨大的影響和控制生產(chǎn)什么，如何介紹產(chǎn)品和它們是如何分配商店的。大型零售商處理

8、有效的回應(yīng)方式是通過獨特的包裝，這已經(jīng)成為一個品牌成功關(guān)鍵因素。零售商自有品牌產(chǎn)品與制造商的品牌在幾乎每一個產(chǎn)品類別競爭激烈。品牌差異化可以提高創(chuàng)新的包裝設(shè)計，賦予審美和/或功能屬性。包裝在預測零售商的形象，贏得競爭優(yōu)勢方面起著重要的支撐作用。一般零售商自己的品牌形象的目的是積極的消息，如高品質(zhì)的，健康的飲食，新鮮，環(huán)保意識還是物有所值的整體。例如，零售商是熱衷于環(huán)保意識，推動部分為可生物降解、可堆肥包裝成長的利基市場，他們正在使用它作為與客戶的溝通點。包裝與廣告是密切相關(guān)的，但它遠遠超過了廣告，重點是因為它每天在家里和在零售貨架上向消費者介紹產(chǎn)品。商品顯示，目前用一個有吸引力的或有趣的方式和

9、媒體廣告與包裝的形象一致的包裝設(shè)計也有利于促進品牌。品牌的擁有者是經(jīng)常負責采購操作，促銷活動的關(guān)鍵是通過利用有效的包裝，存在多種返還優(yōu)惠的方式，如免費額外的產(chǎn)品，退返現(xiàn)金，特別版，新的改進產(chǎn)品，鋁箔新鮮包裝。零售商的忠誠卡計劃使用條碼掃描信息購買和銷售決策，對其產(chǎn)生了很大的影響。他們的任務(wù)是更好地利用這一信息消費行為為目的，并建立品牌忠誠度。零售商還可以使用此信息來評估新的包裝設(shè)計有效性，返還促銷和新產(chǎn)品銷售。包裝的作用在多個零售物流配送和店內(nèi)商品有嚴格的限制。零售商是接受包裝，降低經(jīng)營成本，增加存貨周轉(zhuǎn)率，轉(zhuǎn)化為吸引力商品顯示器 - 如預組裝或易于裝配顯示 - 滿足物流服務(wù)水平（可靠性，響應(yīng)

The qualityof a food depends not only on the quality of raw ingredients, additives, methodsof processing and packaging, but also on distributio

Increasing competition amongstfood producers, retailers and packaging suppliers; and quality audits of suppliershave resulted in significant improvements in food quality as well as a dramaticincrease in the choice of packaged food.

16、These improvements have also beenaided by tighter temperature control in the cold chain and a more discerningconsumer.One definition of shelf life is: the time during which a combination of foodprocessing and packaging can maintain satisfactory eating quality under theparticular system by which the

17、food is distributed in the containers and theconditions at the point of sale. Shelf life can be used as a marketing tool forpromoting the concept of freshness. Extended or long shelf life products alsoprovide the consumer and/or retailer with the time convenience of product useas well as a reduced r

Packaging provides the consumer with important information about theproduct and, in many cases, use of the pack and/or product. These includefacts such as weight, volume, ingredients, the

These include ease of access and opening, disposal andhandling, product visibility, resealability, microwaveability, prolonged shelflife etc. Demographic trends in the age profile of the UK and other advancedeconomies reveal a declining birth rate and rapid growth of a r

Failure tostock

Mod-ern distribution and packaging systems allow consumers to buy food when andw

In the UK, for example, between the 1960s and 1990s the number ofproduct lines in the average supermarket rose from around 2000 to over 18 000. Since the 1970s, food health and safety have become increasingly majorconcern

These incidents have been both deliberate, by malicious tampering,and accidental, occurring during the production process. However, manycons

26、umers are not fully aware of the importance of packaging in maintainingfood safety and quality. One effect has been the rapid introduction of tamperevident closures for many pre-packaged foods in order to not only protect theconsumer but also the brand. Another impact has been to motivate consumerst

Consumers purchasepackaging as part of the product and, over the years, the weight

It is the volume of packaging rather than the weightof packaging that is attracting critical public attention. In

Packaging has been a key to the evolution of modern fast-moving consugoods retailing that in turn has spurred on packaging development

It is, therefore, important for packaging suppliers to be fully aware of market demand and respondquickly to changes. In addition, the concentration of

The retailer is receptiveto packaging that reduces operating costs, increases inventory turnover, trans-forms to attractive merchandising displays such as pre-assembled or easy-to-assemble aisle displays and satisfies logistics s

For example, combined transit andpoint-of-sale packaging saves store labour through faster shelf loading, pro-vides ease of access to product thereby obviating the need to use potentiallydangerous unsafe cutting tools, and presents

For some fast-moving commodity typeproducts, such as pasteurised milk, the cost of distribution and retail mer-chandising is usually a sizeable proportion o

The cost of packaging materialsand containers also adds slightly to the cost but design of the optimalpackaging system can significantly reduce cost in the retail distributionchain. The development of global food supply chains has meant that manypoints of production have located further away from the points of consump-tion, often resulting in higher distribution cost.Controlling distribution cost through i
