Given its lightweight properties, the crucial growth factor in the global flexible plastic packaging market is its versatility, durability, and nature is increasingly replacing packaging made of plastic and non-plastic materials like glass and metal. Rigid packaging coated formats are susceptible to breakage and corrosion. Flexible plastic packaging coating market is witnessing a notable growth as the technology is increasingly replacing rigid packaging made of non-plastic materials such as glass and metal thanks to its flexibility, durability and lightweight nature. Because of this, usage of multilayer packaged products has increased rapidly across varied industries as well. The move from single layered films to multilayer films comes with different benefits. Such benefits include increased shelf life without compromising the aroma and quality of the product along with decreased risk of contamination. Multilayer packaging ensures reliably, high-quality and fresh food products. It preserves the items and keeps them hygienic, thereby, increasing food shelf-life. This is particularly important considering global food supply as one third of all food produced worldwide is wasted before it approaches the plates of consumers. Intelligent multilayer packaging systems can play a role in reducing this unnecessary waste. Multilayer packaging is sustainable as it does not need much material and can also be made from recycled materials.
