This type of film reduces the risk of oxidation, alteration of taste and texture of the food, ensuring its freshness and quality. <br\/>Additionally, companies can leverage product traceability through the use of barcodes, electronic labels, or RFID microchips, which allow the product to be identified and tracked at every stage of the distribution chain.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gruppo-serafin-consiglia-uno-sguardo-verso-il-futuro-del-packaging\">Gruppo Serafin Recommends: a Look towards the Future of Packaging<\/h4>\n\n<p>Are you familiar with smart labels or interactive packaging?
