Quality and stability of different food products depend, to a great extent, on packaging materials used, but also on requirements and procedures of modern packing. The improvement of packing process in a conventional sense means modernization of equipment, perfection of qualitative properties of applied packaging materials, or use of vacuum packing or modified atmosphere packing. Modern packing means also the use of active and intelligent packaging. The role of modern food packing is not only a passive protection and selling of products. The active packaging affects the conditions in the packed food, so the shelf life is prolonged and the quality maintained. The intelligent packaging communicates with the surroundings giving some information on the quality of the packed product. Regarding the aspect of environmental importance of packaging materials, the possibility to use biopolymers and edible packaging materials is also reviewed. The paper presents not only the traditional functions of packaging but also the processes of active and intelligent packing. The application of new packing procedures for packing of different food products is discussed.
