Flexible Films in Protective Packaging
Plastic film is essential for sustaining the integrity and safety of packaged goods. Layered films can be engineered to provide barriers against moisture, oxygen, light, and other contaminants. Films can be coated to provide microbial or UV protection, puncture resistance, or anti-static properties. Cushioning structures can be pre-inflated or flat, to be inflated-on-demand.
Flexible film is a primary component of Sealed Air protective packaging and associated solutions that include BUBBLE WRAP® brand cushioning and on-demand inflatables, AUTOBAG® mailer bags and pouches, and SEALED AIR® and AUTOBAG® brand shrink films.
Advantages of Flexible Packaging
Film packaging has some undeniable strengths, including using far less material than rigid alternatives, compatibility with automated packaging equipment that helps improve efficiency and reduce labor costs, and generating less package bulk and weight that helps reduce storage needs and lower transportation costs.
For consumer goods, film packaging protects surfaces from scratches and scuffs, protects against dust, moisture, static, and provides impact protection without the weight or rigidity of boxes or clamshells. Film conforms to irregular shapes which is why shrink film dominates multipacks, bundles, and protective overwraps.
While the sustainability of plastic is generally viewed as complex regarding recycling, the overall sustainability impact of plastic film is helping many brands reduce their overall packaging footprint.
