Packaging industry including S & P, flexible packaging, rigid packaging, labels and paper packaging have been developed a lot in recent years. according to global reports, of which about a third of this industry is thermoplastics, a category that includes low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) & etc. Flexible packaging is the most desirable packaging format from Mergers and acquisitions perspective, with 88% of respondents actively seeking acquisitions in that sector. This report has been reviewed the food production trends including agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery products in Iran. Wheat and Dairies Have the highest share of production in each section. Hereafter the requirements of the food production packaging have been examined and then the statistical analysis of raw materials of these kind of packaging including production, import, export and Consumption have been presented. At las Iran’s Packaging Industry’s Strengths and weaknesses have been discussed. افزایش ارزش شرکت های فعال در حوزه های گوناگون صنعت بسته بندی سبب گردیده است تا این صنعت در سال های اخیر روند رو به رشدی را سپری کرده باشد. این صنعت را می توان به حوزه های S & P ، بسته بندی های منعطف، بسته بندی های سفت و محکم، برچسب گذاری و بسته بندی های کاغذی تقسیم بندی نمود. بر طبق آمارهای جهانی، به طور کلی مواد ترموپلاستیک 34% درصد ارزش بازار این صنعت را در اختیار دارند. با توجه به روند رو به رشد این صنعت، بیشترین میزان تمایل به سرمایه گزاری در شرکت های مختلف مربوط به بسته بندی های منعطف می باشد. در این گزارش نگاهی جامع به میزان تولیدات محصولات غذایی شامل محصولات کشاورزی، دامپروری و شیلات و آبزیان شده و روند رو به رشد این تولیدات مورد بررسی قرار گرفته که در این میان گندم و لبنیات بیشترین سهم از تولید را در هر بخش داشته اند. همچنین پس از بررسی ویژگی های بسته بندی محصولات غذایی، تحلیل آماری و اقتصادی مواد اولیه تولیدی ایران شامل میزان تولیدات، واردات، صادرات و مصرف مورد استفاده در این نوع بسته بندی ها ارائه گردیده است. در پایان نیز نقاط قوت و ضعف صنعت بسته بندی ایران مورد بررسی قرار گرفته و نیازمندی ها جهت پیشرفت در این حوزه اعلام گردیده اند.

•Robert W. Vergobbi patented zipper storage bags. Minigrip licensed them, intending to use them as
pencil bags. But it soon became apparent the bags had greater utility than that. Ziploc® bags were
introduced in 1968 as food storage bags. The first baggies and sandwich bags on a roll were
introduced.

•Wisconsin manufacturer Geuder, Paeschke and Frey produced the first licensed character lunch
box—a lithographed Mickey Mouse on an oval tin with a pull-out tray inside. Plastic was used for the
handle and then for the entire box beginning in the 1960s.

•Metallyte™ films were introduced to help keep sharp contents (coffee beans, grains, noodles and
croutons) fresher by reducing packaging tears. The new films are also lighter than foil-based designs.
•That same year, Heinz® Dip & Squeeze, the first new ketchup packaging in 42 years, offered two ways
to get at the ketchup—peel back the lid for easy dipping or tear off the tip to squeeze the ketchup
onto your food. Another great innovation in fast food!

42. Conclusion
44
 Great production of raw materials in Iran
 There is a potential investment opportunity
 Lack of diversity in domestic production of packaging raw
materials
 Supply raw materials that needed in packaging but don’t
have domestic production

43. Future Perspectives
45
For more progress in this market we need to:
 Adjustment of food consumption pattern
 Using modern technologies
 Knowledge base production
 Improvement of local packaging products quality
