The Materials Of Flexible Packaging

When it comes to flexible materials there are so many options to make your packaging perfect for your product. From films, bagging, and pouches to carded packaging including blister and clamshells, there are light and flexible packaging options for almost any product. This also extends to secondary packaging like air pillows and stretch wrap for palletizing.

We mentioned earlier that the flexible materials are great at protecting your products. To get even more specific, several types of flexible materials, like polyolefin shrink film, are FDA approved food-grade materials.

Customization is hugely available in the flexible material space, with different additives, there are multiple options available for protective barrier layers in multi-layer flexible films like pouch packages to add things like UV protection and anti-fog properties to keep your product protected while looking its best long-term.

Flexible Packaging Is Better For The Environment

flexible materials allow for less waste than your typical packaging. In fact, production for flexible products could use up to 85 percent less energy than alternative packaging materials depending on your production. This also means that you’re cutting down on carbon emissions and doing your part to reduce your impact on the environment.

As mentioned above about lightweight packaging taking up less space, your both reducing the impact of transportation, shipping and warehouse costs while also further reducing your environmental impact with lighter products that take up less space on each pallet you ship. Reducing the amount of trucks needed to deliver your products and the fuel that truck will require to deliver your goods is never a bad thing! Not only is this great for the environment, but it’s great for your companies budget as well.

Flexible Packaging Offers Amazing Graphics

When it comes to printing graphics on packaging - almost all flexible packaging can be printed on, and with super high quality graphics! Why use additional labeling materials when you can print directly on your product packaging? You can even use a clear window on the packaging to show off the contents of the package, which has been noted by consumers as more appealing. Being able to actually see the items your are purchasing to consume within its packaging leads to more confident purchase decisions.

The main printing process for flexible materials has been flexographic print for a long time. Flexographics are added to the packaging via rubber or plastic printing plates and do not offer quite the high-quality graphics needed for stand-out packages. Digital printing is making a huge impact on the market as the quality of print is greatly improved as it is printed directly onto the substrate without permeating, forming a thin layer on the surface using heat.

There are now digital/flexo hybrids making their way into the market that are making a huge difference in the quality of print and the ease of production. Digital print does have a higher price-point but smaller runs of different SKU's are more profitable for a brand in today's marketplace of hyper-personalization, making the higher price worth the spend.

There are many benefits to utilizing flexible materials in product packaging for businesses, consumers and the environment. It doesn’t cost more, especially when you take all factors into consideration. In fact, your sales could increase due to the interesting, convenient and unique packaging you can create for your products.
