What is Flexible Packaging

When compared to rigid packaging options, flexible packaging can be a much better choice for many types of applications. Flexible packaging utilizes plastic technology to create bags and other “soft” containers that can be used in many types of industries.

Benefits of Flexible Packaging

Less shelf footprint – can place more product on a store shelf than rigid packaging, which will reduce overall handling expenses throughout the supply chain

More quantity packed – for transport and shipping you can place more flexible packages into a container in most cases than rigid packaging. This means for the same shipping expense you can transport more products, reducing overall operating expenses.

Less shipping expense – HDPE bottles, caps and labels can add weight to a package. Flexible packages are significantly less weight – often as much as 40% less weight than traditional HDPE bottle packages or containers.

Environmentally sound – the cost to produce flexible packaging uses less carbon footprint with less BTU consumption than typical rigid packaging, and the amount of waste is substantially smaller. Additionally, most types of flexible packages can be recycled easily

Innovative designs – there are numerous ways to make a flexible package extremely attractive with vibrant color options, special resealable packs, and creative labels. Whether you are using flexible packages for food, beverage, cosmetics, cleaning products or other household items
