With growing demands by customers, manufacturers usually have a hard time keeping up with their expectations. In such a scenario, manufacturers generally feel the need to stay ahead of trends. Today’s consumers are more concerned about their health, and so they prefer buying packed fruits and vegetables, food products without additives, and dietary supplements. A rise in demand for these products has resulted in a growth in demand for flexible packaging.
Modern packaging is not all about using a container that holds the product. It is more about keeping the product safe from harmful elements. The goal is to ensure the delivery of a more secure product.
There are several other benefits the flexible packaging offers, such as:
Use of fewer resources
Easy to fill and empty
Easy to close, open, and hold
Easy to store and transport
Easy to manufacture
Less expensive
Protects the product from most types of damages
The reason flexible packaging has become more popular is that it is easy to place and organize on store shelves compared to geometric-shaped boxes and cartons. Ease of use makes it a preferable option for the end-user. Urban societies prefer buying products that are portable and convenient. Busy lifestyles make it very hard for them to handle rigid and large cartons. Packaging products that are high in demand in this regard are carry-away packs, single-serve packages, easy-open packs, microwaveable products, and re-sealable packs. Because most of the people have to spend a significant part of their day out of their homes, they prefer taking carry away packs with them, because these packs are lightweight and easy to handle.
Another reason flexible packaging has become a more preferred option is its reduced impact on the environment. Good thing is that brand owners have realized their responsibility towards keeping the environment safe, so they choose flexible packaging to secure their products for shipping and delivery. The materials used in the flexible packs include recyclable polymers and bio-plastic. Flexible packaging has allowed manufacturers to reduce the utilization of resources and also helped them reduce the amount of energy required to manufacture many of the packaging materials. As a result, they can save on costs related to packaging, materials, and transport.
Several re-sealable packs serve consumers even after they use up the product. Perhaps, it is the right demonstration of sustainability. A packaging material that remains usable for a long time can contribute to keeping the environment safe because it doesn’t go into the landfill anytime soon. With the use of recyclable materials, companies have made sure that the environmental impact of these packs remains minimal when consumers decide to throw these away.
Due to their ability to occupy less space, flexible packs remain a top choice for most grocery stores and supermarkets. With more products on their shelves, these stores can expect more sales.
Implementing a flexible packaging system can be a little challenging for a manufacturing company that has been using other packaging options. The best way to have a successful implementation is to get in contact with a qualified packaging consultant.
