Flexible Packaging

Whether it comes to food and beverage, pet care, home and personal care or nutraceuticals, flexible packaging has become a game changer for its:

• Convenience and ease of use. Besides being lightweight, this type of packaging is easy – to grab-and-go, have pre-measured ingredients, store, open and reseal. This convenience makes products more attractive to consumers, which translates to greater sales opportunities for brands.
• Product safety and extended shelf life. Because of the multiple layers of a variety of materials from paper, plastic, film and foil, flexible packaging protects the product within. Whether from outside temperatures or from letting things in like air, moisture and bacteria, this type of packaging extends a product’s shelf life.
• Environmental friendliness. While most packaging materials are currently not recyclable, the overall carbon footprint is sustainable and environmentally friendly.  This is because the packaging process uses fewer materials, is lightweight, uses fewer resources during the production process (water/fossil fuels), requires less transportation and storage space, has a longer shelf life which decreases waste and takes up less landfill space than other packaging options.  In time, as technology continues to improve, the layers used will be made from recyclable polyethylene materials.
• Branding and design. Because the entire space on a flexible package is printable, it provides manufacturers greater visibility for branding and design. With options such as varnish, embossing, foil stamping and other complex design elements, giving your product maximum shelf appeal.
