Flexible packaging is a means of packaging products through the use of non-rigid materials, which allow for more economical and customizable options. It is a relatively new method in the packaging market and has grown popular due to its high efficiency and cost-effective nature. This packaging method uses a variety of flexible materials, including foil, plastic, and paper, to create pouches, bags, and other pliable product containers. Flexible packages are particularly useful in industries that require versatile packaging, such as the food and beverage, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries.
Benefits of Flexible Packaging
At Top pack, we offer a wide range of flexible packaging options with numerous benefits, including:
Improved Production Efficiency
Flexible packaging uses less base material than traditional rigid packaging, and the easy formability of flexible materials improves production time and reduces energy consumption.
Environmentally Friendly
Flexible packaging requires less energy than rigid packaging. In addition, flexible packaging materials are frequently designed to be reusable and recyclable.
Innovative Package Design and Customization
Flexible packaging materials allow for more creative and visible packaging shapes. Coupled with our top-of-the-line printing and design services, this ensures conspicuous and striking packaging for superior marketing value.
Enhanced Product Life
Flexible packaging protects products from moisture, UV rays, mold, dust, and other environmental contaminants that can negatively affect the product, thereby maintaining its quality and extending its shelf life.
User-Friendly Packaging
Flexible packaging is less bulky and lighter than traditional options, so it is easier for customers to buy, transport, and store products.
Simplified Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are significantly reduced since this method is lighter and takes up less space than rigid packaging.
Different Types of Flexible Packaging
Flexible packaging comes in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes, and is typically produced in either formed or unformed configurations. Formed products are pre-shaped with the option of filling and sealing yourself in-house, while unformed products typically come on a roll that is sent to co-packers for forming and filling. The materials used in flexible packaging are easy to manipulate and combine into innovative and customizable styles, such as:
- Sample Pouches: Sample pouches are small packets composed of film and/or foil that get heat-sealed. They are typically pre-formed for easy in-house filling and sealing
- Printed Pouches: Printed pouches are sample pouches on which the product and brand information is printed for marketing purposes
- Sachets: Sachets are flat packets made of layered packaging material. They are frequently used for single-use pharmaceutical and personal care products. These are great for trade shows where you want to distribute samples
- Printed Roll Stock: Printed roll stock consists of unformed pouch material with product information pre-printed on it. These rolls get sent to a co-packer to get formed, filled, and sealed
- Stock Bags: Stock bags are simple, blank formed bags or pouches. These can be used as blank bags/pouches or you can adhere a label to these in order to promote your brand
