We've been creating flexible packaging for over ten years now, but the industry continues to change. With new technologies and changing consumer habits, there are so many reasons to opt for flexible packaging for your next packaging solution:

 

COMPRESSED

As a consumer, there's nothing more frustrating than unnecessarily large or wasteful packaging. Unlike rigid packaging, you can compress flexible packaging so that your product fits perfectly with minimal waste. 

 

CONVENIENT 

With options like resealable seals and zip locks, flexible packaging offers more convenience to your customers. If your product is perishable, multi-layered barriers also guarantee it to stay fresh for longer. 

 

CUSTOMIZABLE

Flexible packaging can be made up of tons of different materials, shapes, sizes, patterns, and designs. You can utilize every inch of space with flexible packaging, with the ability to print anywhere on the package. With endless possibilities, you can be sure that your packaging is on-brand, and that it stands out on the shelf. 

 

ECO-FRIENDLY

The process of creating flexible packaging is much more eco-friendly than other types of packaging as it uses less water and energy. In regards to transportation, flexible packaging is easier to pack and shipments can hold higher quantities than rigid packaging. Also, with less material used in the production process, landfill waste is reduced.

 

LIGHTWEIGHT

Flexible packaging is more lightweight than any other alternative and many materials are puncture-resistant and tamper-proof, which makes it ideal for travel for customers and consumers alike. Lightweight packaging also means fewer or reduced transportation costs, with it being easier to pack and less likely to get damaged than rigid packaging. 

 

VERSATILE

There are many types of flexible packaging products; lidding film, stand-up pouches, sachets, stick packs, compostable, recyclable: the list goes on. With so many options and capabilities, flexible packaging has a solution for any product, from chemical products to food.

 

This list only scratches the surface of the endless benefits of flexible packaging. With the combination of new technology and the expansion of e-commerce, flexible packaging is the ideal packaging solution. If you want to learn more, reach out to us here or fill out our quick online quote form!
