Hard baked goods such as cookies and crackers have a relatively low water and high fat content. Water can be absorbed, and the product loses its desirable texture and becomes subject to Hpid rancidity. Packagiag for cookies and crackers includes polyolefin-coextmsion film pouches within paperboard carton sheUs, and polystyrene trays overwrapped with polyethylene or oriented polypropylene film. Soft cookies are packaged in high water-vapor-barrier laminations containing aluminum foil. 

Nylon films are used in lamination or coated form to ensure heat sealabiHty and enhance barrier properties. The largest uses are as thermoforming webs for twin-web processed meat and cheese packagiag under vacuum or in an inert atmosphere. Other uses include bags for red meat, boil-ia-bags, bag-in-box for wine, and as the outer protective layer for aluminum foil in cookie and vacuum coffee packages.

The film is wrapped around the carton and sealed by heating. Products such as boxed chocolates, candies, and cookies are overwrapped, sometimes by a printed film. 

Cellophane is an old and respected packaging material which has been improved over the years. The two general types are coated with nitrocellulose (N/C) and polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), respectively. Nitrocellulose-coated cellophane is moisture proof and useful for packaging dry products. It does not exclude oxygen or moisture completely, but for noncritical products it is entirely satisfactory. Baked goods are often packaged in this breathing type film. It is often used for cookies, candies, and rolls because its lack of taste and odor makes it very compatible with these products.

Packaging applications are the most extensive. Meat, poultry, and egg containers arc thermoformed from extruded foamed polystyrene sheet. The fast-food market also accounts for a substantial amount of polystyrene for takeout containers where the insulation value of a foamed container is an advantage.
