A REVIEW ON TRADITIONAL PACKAGING OF FISHERY PRODUCTS

Fisheries Processing Technology

Traditional packaging is packaging made from natural materials which are generally used for traditional foods, and are commonly used in traditional markets using natural ingredients. The use of natural materials in traditional packaging has special elements that are not found in modern packaging elements that use artificial materials. Several types of traditional packaging materials that can be used for fishery products are wood, bamboo, rattan, banana leaves, corn husk, paper and burlap sacks. Traditional packaging that is already common uses traditional packaging derived from natural ingredients, namely pindang fish, pepes fish, otak-otak, salted fish and smoked fish and some fermented products. Pindang fish are usually packaged traditionally using leaves, paper, materials from bamboo and rattan. Pepes fish and otak-otak are packaged using banana leaves. Salted fish, smoked fish, peda and shrimp paste are generally packaged using paper packaging for the primary packaging and using bamboo, rattan or wood as the secondary packaging.
