In the context of food packaging design, customization enhances the value of a product
by meeting consumer needs. Personalization is also linked to adaptation, so the properties of
the packaging can be improved from several points of view: functional, aesthetic, economic and
ecological. Currently, functional and formal properties of packaging are not investigated in depth.
However, the study of both properties is the basis for creating a new concept of personalized and
sustainable product. In accordance with this approach, a conceptual design procedure of packaging
with personalized and adapted geometries based on the digitization of fresh food is proposed in
this work. This study is based on the application of advanced technologies for the design and
development of food packaging, apples in this work, in order to improve the quality of the packaging.
The results obtained show that it is possible to use advanced technologies in the early stages of
product design in order to obtain competitive products adapted to new emerging needs.
