As a result, flexible films are used in almost every industry. PLA flexible films supplier is here to introduce you to the benefits of flexible films in the packaging industry.

Customizable

Flexible packaging film is touted because it can be customized to fit the details of the product being packaged. Regardless of shape, size or visual requirements, the solution gives you the flexibility to customize your packaging to your unique specifications and market objectives.

Customization elements also extend from materials to visual attributes, including clarity, gloss and printability. It allows you to truly showcase your products and brand in an eye-catching way. You can print high-quality graphics in a variety of colors and designs, package your products with creativity and style, or include important information directly on the package.

Reduce costs

Because flexible films can be customized to the specific size of your product, there is no need to use more material than is absolutely necessary. By using high-quality film, you can often gradually eliminate the need for additional packaging components such as corrugated pallets and the corresponding costs. In addition, the cost of implementing flexible packaging film, from materials to production costs, is significantly lower than that of plastic or glass containers. Because of their light weight, flexible packaging films are more affordable for domestic and international shipments. As new technologies continue to emerge, you can further reduce packaging costs by downsizing or choosing smaller widths of film.

Environmentally friendly

Polylactide, polylactic acid (PLA), is extruded into film, also known as polylactic acid film or PLA film. PLA flexible film is made from corn, wheat, cassava and other starch-containing organisms as starting materials, enzymatically digested to obtain glucose, then fermented by acid bacteria to lactic acid, and finally compounded to obtain a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester. PLA has good biocompatibility, environmental safety, non-toxic, good mechanical properties, light transmission and processing properties. It can be used in various packaging materials such as floor film, food packaging bags and pharmaceuticals.
