Compared to several traditional packaging alternatives, flexible packaging is more environmentally friendly and offers better value for money. PLA flexible film is one of the best known flexible film packaging and it is also environmentally friendly. Let's read on to learn more about the features and applications of flexible packaging.

Their features

Flexible packaging film consists of the highest quality materials and works effectively and consistently throughout the product's life cycle. It utilizes flexible substrates, including paper and plastic films. Its growing popularity is due to superior performance, including clarity, twist retention and excellent shrinkage.

Technical excellence

An example of flexible packaging is the stand-up pouch. The latter are made from multiple layers of plastic, aluminum and other materials. The advantage of stand-up pouches is that they protect food from the environmental and physical hazards encountered during the transportation and storage phases. Flexible food packaging can come in a variety of designs to appeal to buyers. Zipper locks and nozzles can be added for better convenience and usability.

Reduced Costs

By choosing flexible packaging, manufacturing costs are greatly reduced. Flexible packaging materials are made by laminating multiple layers of film together. The time, energy and material costs to manufacture flexible packaging film are much lower than traditional glass and plastic cans.
