Nature Materials Packing Design for Food Container Using the Leaf Sheaf Banana Tree

This paper proposes for the design of food container packaging using the leaf sheet of the tree as a natural material. The objective of this project is to develop a design for the press and container molding machine, along with a pulling machine specially designed for the processing of leaf sheaf banana. It can control a temperature of 50–150 ºC to test the forming from natural fiber. The temperature used for forming is 100 ºC, and the temperature used to roll the leaf sheaf banana is 120 ºC. The biological material was developed with the aim of adding value and reducing damage. The packaging design complies with the safety and mechanical properties specified in TIS 170 standard. This parameter covers various factors including weight, moisture content, water absorption, radiation resistance, resistivity to scratches, resilience to cracks, elasticity, stretching and mechanic properties. The product case has been thoroughly tested and developed for the production of foodstuffs.
