This paper provides an overview of kimchi packaging technology, focusing on packaging materials, package design, and active/intelligent packaging technology for kimchi. From a packaging-material standpoint, although various materials have been used to ensure customer satisfaction and convenience, plastic is the most widely used material, in the form of bags, trays, pouches, and rigid containers. Additionally, recent efforts in the kimchi packaging industry have allowed companies to differentiate their products by using different packaging materials and technologies, while simultaneously improving product safety and quality. On the other hand, the biggest problem in kimchi packaging is excess $CO_2$ production, leading to package expansion and leakage. To alleviate this problem, the use of $CO_2$ absorbers, high $CO_2$-permeable films, and degassing valves, in addition to the use of different packaging systems, has been investigated. Active and/or intelligent packaging systems have been developed, to include active functions beyond simply inert, passive containment and protection of the kimchi product. However, most such approaches are not yet adequately effective to be useful on a commercial scale. Therefore, further studies are needed to resolve the limitations of each technology.

In order to reduce packaging and logistics costs for any business, it is important to identify opportunities for improvement throughout an entire logistics system including measurement of the performance and cost of packaging. Although the importance of packaging in a supply chain has been recognized by many scholars and experts, the total cost and value of packaging have not been successfully estimated. This paper reviews the recent researches and articles that tried to quantify the value of packaging focusing on the business decision between reusable and expendable shipping container systems. Three key factors such as cost, ownership, and standardization are identified and discussed in terms of impact on supply chain costs and performances. It is important to understand that the decision of a package system can change a logistics activities and even entire logistical system. Hence, the total cost and value of transport packaging should be calculated with understanding of interactions with logistical activities throughout supply chain. Identifying the opportunities and constraints of packaging changes on total logistics cost and activities must be carefully examined before implementation of a packaging system.

Increasing use of plastics in food packaging materials has led to the issue of food-plastic packaging materials mutual interactions. Rapid development of new microwavable ready-to-meal products requires suitable plastic packaging materials for safe heating with the contained food. However, data is still required to diminish consumers' safety concern about ready to meal packaging materials. Amounts and patterns of extracted materials from the ready-to-meal packaging materials of Korea and Japan by heat treatments ($120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.) was investigated and compared by using Gas chromatography. Total peak number of extracted materials from Korea packaging materials was six while that of extracted materials from Japan's was only two. Moreover, the extracted amounts of packaging materials from Korea company was much higher than those of Japan's. Additional research is needed to justify the reason why extracted materials from packaging materials from Korea be much more occurred, and how the amounts from Korea packaging materials can be reduced.

Photo-oxidation is one of the main causes of food deterioration of great variety of foods, such as dairy products, nuts, meat products, and wine. It causes a loss of both nutritional value and sensorial quality of products and may even leads to the formation of toxic compounds. Active packaging for food and beverages has been investigated and developed with embedding light absorbers or blocking materials into the plastics. In recent years, several novel light barrier materials have been proposed as an alternative option for different applications. This article reviews the up-to-date technology in light absorber and blocking material with special emphasis on chemical compound and mechanism. Inorganic, organic, hybrid organic-inorganic, and natural light absorbers were scoped. The challenges and future perspectives of light barrier materials are also discussed.

With increasing interest in sustainability, several fashion and beauty brands have developed and offered unique types of sustainable packaging in their stores (e.g., 'knot-wrap,' 'seaweed-based' packaging). The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived value (i.e., green, aesthetic, functional, emotional, social, self-expression) of unique types of sustainable packaging and its impact on consumers' packaging evaluation, store evaluation, and store patronage intentions in the context of a fashion retail store. This study also assessed the moderating effects of consumer innovativeness and environmental concern. Data were collected from 210 US consumers aged 18 to 26 years through Amazon MTurk. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that green, emotional, self-expression, functional, and aesthetic values perceived from unique types of sustainable packaging had significant positive impacts on packaging evaluation. Packaging evaluation, in turn, positively impacted store evaluation, subsequently influencing store patronage intentions. Consumer innovativeness and environmental concern moderated several paths between the variables. This study adds to the existing literature on sustainable packaging by investigating consumer responses to sustainable packaging that incorporates the 'uniqueness' aspect. Managerial implications regarding the importance of developing and offering unique types of sustainable packaging for fashion brands in their retail stores are discussed.

현재 시장에서 유통되고 있는 떡 포장은 플라스틱 재료가 주로 사용하며 랩핑 포장 방법을 많이 사용하고 있다. 현재 시장에서 판매되는 떡들은 당일 생산 및 당일 소비(2일내 소비)를 하는 제품으로 포장을 중요성을 많이 고려하고 있지 않지만, 최근 유통기한이 늘어난 떡 제품의 상품화를 위해서 떡 포장의 개발에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 떡의 상품화 증대를 위하여 수도권 지역 소비자 대상 중심으로 포장 개선에 대한 기호도 조사에서 절취선을 손으로 개봉하는 개봉방법, 2~3개의 파티션(홈)이 존재하는 내부 디자인, 제품을 낱개 포장한 포장, 포장에 직접 인쇄하는 인쇄방법, 내용물의 상태가 완전히 보일 수 있는 포장방법을 선호하는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구는 국내 떡 제품에 대한 상품성 부여를 위하여 현재 소비자가 떡 제품 포장의 선호하는 트랜드 분석과 포장의 중요성이 인지되고 있다는 점에서 큰 의미를 부여할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 고려한 국내 주요 떡 제품 포장에 따른 소비자 구입 선호도를 조사 연구를 기반으로 다양한 떡 종류 및 형태에 따른 포장 소비 선호도 그리고 각 포장 방법 변경에 따른 상품화 가능성 및 가격 변화 요인을 고려한 연구가 향후 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 조사 연구 결과로 제시한 떡 포장 설계 구조의 적용과 함께 떡의 품질 개선을 위한 기능성 포장재 적용 연구 및 최적 제품 환경을 조성하는 포장 기법 연구 등을 통하여 떡 제품의 부가가치를 향상 시킬 수 있으리라 기대해 본다.
