Цель обзора состояла в анализе современных технологий упаковочных решений для продуктов питания и определении факторов, которые необходимо учитывать при выборе упаковoчной системы для конкретного продукта. Работа выполнена как структурированный нарративный обзор с четко заданной стратегией литературного поиска. Проанализированы рецензируемые публикации, индексируемые в Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wiley и Google Scholar, преимущественно за 2018–2026 гг., с приоритетом источников, имеющих DOI и прямое отношение к материалам, контактирующим с пищевой продукцией. В статье рассмотрены как, традиционные монополимерные и многослойные материалы, материалы для упаковки в модифицированной газовой среды, съедобные и биоразлагаемые покрытия, активные и интеллектуальные упаковочные системы, а также антимикробные материалы. Установлено, что эффективноcть упаковки определяется не отдельным барьерным показателем, а совокупностью свойств: кислородо- и паропроницаемостью, прочностью сварного шва, матрицей продукта, миграционной безопасностью и возможностью переработки. Обобщены области применения формовочно-фасовочных систем, вакуумной упаковки, упаковки в модифицированной газовой среде, асептического и горячего розлива, ретортной обработки, съедобных покрытий и упаковки, совместимой с обработкой высоким дaвлением. Показано, что наиболее перспективны многофункциональные решения, объединяющие устойчивые материалы, активную защиту, индикаторный контроль, цифровую прослеживаемость и совместимость с нетермическими технологиями. Практическая значимость работы состоит в формировании критериев для предварительного выбора упаковки на этапах разработки прoдукта, технологического проектирования и оценки рисков. Результаты обзора могут быть использованы при проектировании упаковки для мясных, рыбных, молочных, растительных и готовых пищевых продуктов.

The objective of this review was to analyze modern food packaging technologies and to identify the factors that should be considered when selecting a packaging system for a specific product. The work was conducted as a structured narrative review with a clearly defined literature search strategy. Peer-reviewed publications indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wiley, and Google Scholar were analyzed, with emphasis on sources published between 2018 and 2026 and priority given to items bearing a DOI and directly relevant to materials intended for contact with food products. The article examines traditional monolithic and multilayer materials, modified atmosphere packaging materials, edible and biodegradable coatings, active and intelligent packaging systems, as well as antimicrobial materials. It was established that packaging effectiveness is determined not by any single barrier parameter but by the combination of properties, including oxygen and water vapor permeability, heat seal strength, product matrix characteristics, migration safety, and recyclability. The applications of form–fill–seal systems, vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging, aseptic and hot filling, retort processing, edible coatings, and packaging compatible with high-pressure processing are summarized. It is shown that the most promising solutions are multifunctional systems that combine sustainable materials, active protection, indicator-based monitoring, digital traceability, and compatibility with non-thermal technologies. The practical significance of this work lies in establishing criteria for the preliminary selection of packaging during the stages of product development, process design, and risk assessment. The findings of this review can be applied in the design of packaging for meat, fish, dairy, plant-based, and ready-to-eat food products.
