The work aims to provide reference for the further development by summarizing the application and progress of Layered Double Hydroxide (LDHs) in the packaging field at home and abroad. Based on the analysis of their layered structure, the method of preparation and modified LDHs were reviewed, and the application and progress of LDHs in the packaging field were sorted out emphatically. LDHs possessed highly tunable structure and two-dimensional reaction space. The barrier properties and antibacterial properties of the composites can be improved obviously by adding LDHs into the polymer. LDHs composites could slow down the deterioration of food quality effectively, and have broad development prospects in the field of food preservation.
