How Do You Choose the Right Flexible Packaging Materials?

Flexible packaging has become a greener, more cost-efficient solution than many traditional packaging options. However, choosing the right flexible packaging materials is essential if you’re going to make it a profitable transition. Here are four questions about materials you’ll need to answer.

Selecting the right flexible packaging materials is a lot like going to the doctor. To find your solution, you need to answer a barrage of questions. Whether you’re a food manufacturer or a pharma company, picking out the right materials can be a complicated task.

what is the main character of flexible material to ensure packed products shelf life？We believe water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) should be the first character.

Moisture Barrier Film - this type of packaging is ideal for extreme protection from moisture. Moisture barrier films can be customized with layers of specialized film to keep moisture from compromising your products. Ensure that food products and other powdered goods stay dry with moisture blocking protection of high barrier films.

Oxygen Barrier Film – protect your products from oxygen transmission with the airtight security of film enforced with a special coating designed to prevent oxygen permeation.  Oxygen barrier film is designed to maintain your products flavor, scent and color.

So how to know your flexible materials water vapor and oxygen transmission rate?
