This study proposes an artificial intelligence (AI)-based multi-output artificial neural network (ANN) classification model capable of automatically predicting optimal packaging methods and materials based on product characteristics. A total of 51 commercial meal-kit products distributed under ambient, chilled, and frozen conditions were analyzed to construct a comprehensive dataset comprising 19 packaging-related parameters such as distribution type, cooking requirement, packaging material, and sealing type. Of these, 17 parameters were used as input features, and two—packaging method and packaging material—served as output targets. The initial ANN model included an input layer of 17 nodes, two hidden layers with 128 neurons each (tanh activation), and two softmax output layers (nine and eight nodes for method and material classification, respectively). To optimize performance, Bayesian optimization was applied to five key hyperparameters: neuron count, learning rate, activation function, neuron division ratio, and optimizer type. The optimized model with four hidden layers and 1,024 neurons achieved classification accuracies of 85.8% for packaging method and 93.9% for packaging material, with corresponding F1-scores of 84.4% and 90.9%, respectively. Compared to the baseline, this represents a 22-44% improvement across metrics. The findings demonstrate the potential of AI-driven systems for intelligent, standardized, and sustainable packaging design, contributing to the advancement of smart manufacturing and eco-efficient food packaging automation
