Have you been to the supermarket lately? Have you noticed the replacement of the traditional cans in the markets? In the last few years, flexible packaging has taken over almost every other type of packaging. Rigid packaging, which was one of the widely chosen methods of product packaging, has almost been replaced by flexible packaging methods. Now, if you look around in the grocery stores, you can find the product packaging being replaced and the effective use of center seal pouches. Why do you think the food products are being packed in the unprinted pouches than the traditional rigid packaging formats such as cans, metal and plastic containers, etc.?
Given below are the top reasons why there is an increase in the usage of the center seal pouches and a fast decline in other packaging methods.
- Environmentally, these packaging materials are comparatively safer to use than rigid product packaging materials. The material used in manufacturing the unprinted pouches is safe for the environment and is contributory to a sustainable future.
- The manufacturing of unprinted pouches results in comparatively lesser wastage than the other packaging materials. Rigid packaging formats cause too much wastage which is not good, neither economically nor environmentally.
- As this product packaging is flexible, there is no spillage or leakage, and with the material being food-grade, these have emerged as a comparatively better option for food packaging.
These are some of the major reasons why the majority of product manufacturing companies are switching from rigid packaging to flexible packaging. The innovation of center seal pouches has more or less revolutionized the packaging industry.
