All About Flexible Packaging Solutions

  Flexible packaging is a type of packaging through the use of non-rigid materials, which is a highly economical and customizable option. It is a relatively new means of packaging introduced in the market and has grown popular due to its high efficiency and cost-effective nature. The flexible packaging method uses a variety of flexible materials, including foil, plastic and paper to create pouches, bags, mailers and other pliable product containers. These packages are particularly useful in industries that require versatile packagings, such as the food & beverage, personal care and pharmaceutical industries.   Benefits of Flexible Packaging Enhanced Production Efficiency Flexible packaging uses less base material than traditional rigid packaging, and the easy formability of flexible materials decreases production time and reduces energy consumption, making it a viable choice for packaging. Sustainability Flexible packaging requires less energy and resources than rigid p
