The most commonly used polymers are biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) (Anyadike), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). Thanks to innovation and consistent research and development by manufacturers and scientists! Assorted manufacturing processes and additions of polymers including continuous enhancements have helped this industry grow fast.



Do you know flexible packaging films are the second largest segment of the packing industry in the US? You can well visualize its positive impact on employment generation and improvement of manufacturing practices. This segment of the industry has taken the world by storm with its easy adaptation to any packing requirements irrespective of size and shape. Retail shelves, displaying a broad spectrum of products of different categories, would not have looked that appealing without this!   



Here are few characteristics of flexible packaging films to the advantage of brand owners:
