The consumer assesses quality of the goods, first of all, on appearance and registration of its packing. This is especially important for food, as the buyer can not always see the product that is hidden under the package. Thus, consumer packaging is one of the most important components of quality and competitiveness of finished canned food, as the appearance and design of packaging, the buyer evaluates, first of all, the product itself. Therefore, issues related to the manufacturer’s use of packaging for a particular product are paramount. The competitiveness of finished products depends not only on the consumer packaging, but also related to environmental friendliness and its cost. Since after opening the package and using food, consumer packaging is thrown away and must be subsequently disposed of, in this case there are problems that require modern methods of solution (choice of material for consumer packaging, use of modern processing technologies, use of secondary resources, etc. e.). The solution of these issues directly depends on the quality of raw materials, which is also reflected in the materials of the article. To choose the right type of consumer packaging, you need to know its advantages and disadvantages, as well as its competitiveness in the food market. Depending on the type of canned products, juices, beverages, the manufacturer may use specific, most acceptable in this case, the type of packaging. The aim of the work is to consider the most commonly used types and types of consumer packaging, and to provide practical assistance to food producers (juices, beverages, juice products) in terms of choosing the most acceptable range of packaging depending on the type of finished product.
