Milk and dairy products are characterised by limited shelf life due to their high water activity and rich nutritional composition, which promote microbiological and chemical changes during storage and distribution. Packaging therefore plays a crucial role not only in protecting these products but also in maintaining their quality and safety until consumption. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of innovative packaging technologies applied in the dairy sector, with particular emphasis on intelligent packaging systems. Modified atmosphere packaging, active packaging, nanotechnology-based materials and various indicator and sensor systems are discussed. Special attention is given to the role of intelligent packaging in monitoring real storage conditions and assessing the actual status of dairy products. The analysis indicates that intelligent packaging has the potential to improve quality control, reduce food losses and enhance transparency within the supply chain. However, its broader implementation depends on economic feasibility, technological reliability and consumer acceptance.
