Food packaging

There are several good reasons why food packaging is getting more and more prominent: some 30% of the world food production is wasted because of lack of proper packaging, the world population is projected to reach almost 10 billion in 2050, the pace of urbanization is getting faster, together with the development of a richer middle class with Western consuming patterns.

Add to those factors an aging population and shrinking households (single families or double-income-one-child families) , and the reasons for the development of high-tech coextruded packagings, providing longer shelf life by means of more complex barrier structures, retortability, easy opening and reclosability become obvious.

This is therefore the domain of cutting edge production technologies, employing material combinations ranging from 7 to 9 layers.
