The work aims to introduce the latest research progress of functional food packaging materials at home and abroad, point out the existing problems of food packaging and elaborate the development trend of functional food packaging materials in the future. The research status of different functional food packaging at home and abroad (intelligent packag-ing, bacteriostatic packaging, barrier packaging, ethylene adsorption and release packaging, biodegradable packaging, etc.) was summarized. The composition, preparation and application of different functional food packaging were briefly intro-duced. Different functional food packaging played an important role in food storage, preservation, quality monitoring, etc. However, as the function of current food packaging is relatively simple, the packaging material is lack of environmental protection and the cost is high, the development of environmentally-friendly, low-cost multi-functional composite packaging is of great significance in ensuring food quality. The green, environmentally-friendly multi-functional composite packaging materials developed and used for food preservation and quality monitoring has a broad development prospect.
