Flexible packaging
provides all the properties needed for primary as well as secondary
packaging such as lightweight, high performance, high barrier, low
contamination, and keeps the product completely sealed off from the
environment. Flexible packaging products uses over 70% less plastics
than rigid packaging options and also consumes smaller space during
packaging and on shelves in retail outlets. Flexible packaging also
offers a number of sustainability advantages including low raw
material consumption, low carbon footprint, reduced energy usage, and
relatively low waste produced as compared to conventional packaging
formats and hence, are more preferred. These sustainability
advantages offered by flexible packaging are expected to drive its
demand over the forecast period. As competition intensifies in
consumer products market, product manufacturers and brand owners are
identifying as well as capitalize the latent potential in the market.

packaging. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), vacuum skin packaging
are some of the current trending packaging solutions which have been
developed to meet end customer demand.
