Last few years, flexible packaging and flexible films are the business industry and its uses in almost every industry. There are various type of flexible materials are used in different products needs ranging from pharmacy to food and drink and oil industry etc.
What is flexible packaging? It means the packaging of products by using of non-rigid materials that allow for economical and customized options. It is grow popular due to high efficiency and cost effective nature in relatively packaging market.
In this packaging method, there are variety of flexible materials like foil, poly coated foil, induction sealing wads etc. which are uses in pouches, bags, and containers.
Why flexible packaging? Flexible packaging is a best solution for starter business. It is very less expensive material with great durability and product protection. These packaging materials are versatile that useful in many industries, such as food and beverage, personal care and medical industries.
Types of Flexible Packaging -Different materials are used for different packaging solutions, its depends upon their characteristics like strength, durability portability and clarity etc. some of materials are uses in wide range of different industries-
1. Induction Sealing Wads- we are known the high quality induction sealing wads are used to seal containers and protect from deterioration due air moisture and any other impurity to content of container. It is also preventing adulteration which is re-applying the wads without leaving noticeable evidence. When containers have filled, an induction passes through conducting aluminum foil which is in sealing wads.
Features-
· It is made from best quality and water resist wads.
· It keep the fresh goods and protect them from contamination.
· These sealing wads come with multi layers of aluminum foil and heat seal which are the temperature resistant.
Applications-
· Cosmetic products industries
· Pharmaceutical Companies
· Food and Dairy factories
· Chemical industry
2. PE Coated Aluminium Foils- It is an important material in flexible food packaging and laminates. Its prevents the migration of moisture, oxygen and other gases, and volatile aroma, as well as against the impact of light which higher than in any plastic materials. This poly coated foil used in semi-rigid and flexible packaging for in pack thermal processing that ensures rapid heating and minimum heat damage during processing. PE Aluminium foil is considered to be safe and recommended in specific areas, in packaging materials.
Features-
· Aluminium foils with thickness which posses barrier properties and ensure that food stay fresh longer.
· PE foil are easily deformable without losing its fence properties.
· It is harmless, light and resistant water, water vapor and gas.
· It is fire resistant and easy to recycle.
Applications-
· In construction industry, uses insulating effects of aluminum foil such as in insulating sewers, pipeline etc.
· The light weight and high conductive PE coated foil are used in the energy sector to insulate power cable.
On the other hand, it is used in telecommunication industry to protect fiber optic cable from moisture.
