Package Cost

Production organizations should take measures to control the cost of all packaging, except for packaging that comes into direct contact with the contents, to not exceed 20% of the product’s selling price.

Package laminated film layers

Grain and its processed products should not exceed three layers, and other commodities (including tea and its products) should not exceed four layers.

If the packaging void ratio, packaging layers, and packaging cost of a product do not meet the standard requirements, the packaging of the product is judged as excessive packaging.
