What Buyers Should Know About Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on product type, moisture control, oxygen and moisture barrier, sealing quality, packaging material and storage conditions. Buyers should not evaluate shelf life separately from packaging.
For B2B projects, shelf life should be discussed together with product format, storage condition, target market and label requirements. Global Crispy can review shelf life targets based on selected products and packaging.
