Fresh-cut flowers are considered to be one of the most delicate and challenging commercial crops. It is important to take into consideration how to minimize loss during storage and transportation when preserving cut flowers. Many impinging (bad effect) forces can interact to shorten the flowers' vase life. In the flower industry, effective methods need to be developed to extend freshly cut flowers' life. Fresh-cut flowers' vase life can be shortened by a variety of interlocking causes. The flower industry must develop new techniques to extend the flowers' vase lifespan. This review provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on classical, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and controlled atmosphere packaging (CAP) displays. According to this review, a promising packaging technique for fresh flowers can be achieved through smart packaging. A smart package is one that incorporates new technology to increase its functionality. This combines active packaging, nanotechnology, and intelligence. This technology makes it easier to keep an eye on the environmental variables that exist around the packaged flowers to enhance their quality. This article offers a comprehensive overview of creative flower-saving packaging ideas that reduce flower losses and assist growers in handling more effectively their flower inventory. To guarantee the quality of flowers throughout the marketing chain, innovative packaging techniques and advanced packaging technologies should be adopted to understand various package performances. This will provide the consumer with cut flowers of standard quality. Furthermore, sustainable packaging is achieved with circular packaging. We can significantly reduce packaging waste's environmental impact by designing reused or recyclable packaging.
鲜切花被认为是最娇嫩且具有挑战性的商业作物之一。在保存切花时，考虑如何在储存和运输过程中尽量减少损失非常重要。许多相互影响（不良影响）的因素会相互作用，缩短鲜花的瓶插寿命。在花卉行业，需要开发有效的方法来延长鲜切花的寿命。鲜切花的瓶插寿命会因多种相互关联的原因而缩短。花卉行业必须开发新技术来延长鲜花的瓶插寿命。这篇综述提供了关于传统、气调包装（MAP）和控制气氛包装（CAP）展示的全面、最新信息。根据这篇综述，通过智能包装可以实现一种有前景的鲜花包装技术。智能包装是一种融入新技术以增加其功能的包装。它结合了活性包装、纳米技术和智能化。这项技术使人们更容易关注包装鲜花周围存在的环境变量，以提高鲜花质量。本文全面概述了富有创意的鲜花保鲜包装理念，这些理念可减少鲜花损失，并帮助种植者更有效地管理他们的花卉库存。为了在整个营销链中保证鲜花质量，应采用创新包装技术和先进包装技术来了解各种包装性能。这将为消费者提供标准质量的切花。此外，通过循环包装可实现可持续包装。我们可以通过设计可重复使用或可回收的包装，显著减少包装废弃物对环境的影响。
