The future is flexible, and we’re your preferred packaging supplier! Why flexible packaging? It’s able to be re-sealed, easy to store, easy to open, reusable, transparent, easy to carry, recyclable and eco-friendly, has a prolonged shelf life, comes in portions and single serve, and/or is microwavable. You decide!

What impact does innovative flexible packaging technology have on your brand and, ultimately, your sales? As a marketing and branding strategy, flexible packaging enhances product attributes, giving brands the opportunity to highlight the quality of the product inside and differentiate from the competition. According to the Flexible Packaging Transition Advantages Study conducted by the FPA, 80 percent of surveyed brand owners agree that packaging influences brand value. In addition to enhancing brand image, flexible packaging has the potential to reduce costs, differentiate your product on the shelf, better fit consumer lifestyle trends, extend shelf life, do a better job physically protecting the product, and have less impact on the environment.

Consumers prefer packaging that is easy to store, resealable, easy to open, easy to carry, and that extends product life, according to the FPA consumer survey conducted by Harris Poll. Many are willing to pay more for these tangible functional benefits.
