The work aims to study the application progress of storage and transportation packaging technology in fresh food cold chain logistics, and point out the existing problems. The biological nature of fresh food was analyzed. The basic packaging requirements of fresh food, the logistics model of fresh food, the types of packaging materials for fresh food and the research and development status of new functional storage and transportation packaging for fresh food were reviewed. Existing logistics model and packaging methods ensured the arrival quality of fresh food to a certain extent; however, they could not fully meet the needs of consumers. To better satisfy people's consumer demand, suggestions were put forward for the research direction of storage and transportation packaging technology of fresh food. At present, the starting point of improper temperature control of fresh food is mostly the research on logistics transportation system and cold storage agent, and there are few researches on packaging insulation materials. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the efforts to develop new pollution-free, functional storage and transportation packaging technology.
