2. Internal structure of aseptic packagingThe internal structure of aseptic packaging has 7 layers, which are polyethylene, polymer, aluminum foil, polyethylene, base paper, ink, and polyethylene from the inside to the outside. Among them, base paper is the main carrier of aseptic packaging, which can stably support printing; polyethylene can prevent moisture and protect printed patterns; aluminum foil can prevent oxidation, block odors and avoid light.

Second, the composite packaging material and vacuum state can protect the product from the invasion of light, gas, peculiar smell and false organisms, and no refrigeration is required for transportation and storage;
The third is that the shape of aseptically packaged products is generally brick-shaped, with high space utilization and light weight, so the cost is not high;
Fourth, most of the packaging raw materials are paper, which is in line with environmental protection packaging;
Fifth, it is suitable for automatic continuous production, which saves labor and energy.
