WHY FLEXIBLE?<br />
Not only is flexible packaging more versatile<br />
than ever before, there are a host of other<br />
reasons why manufacturers are choosing it over<br />
more traditional packaging methods.<br />
First, it’s significantly cheaper to produce. On<br />
average, and depending on quantity and size,<br />
flexible packaging costs between $0.08 and $0.18<br />
per unit. Printed folding cartons cost almost twice as<br />
much, and glass jars or rigid plastic containers could<br />
be three to six times the cost of flexible packaging.<br />
Choosing flexible packaging means a better profit<br />
margin for your company.<br />
Second, it’s more environmentally-friendly. Flexible<br />
packaging uses less material to manufacture,<br />
which means you use fewer natural resources,<br />
less waste is diverted to the landfill, and fewer<br />
harmful emissions are expended. It is lightweight<br />
and compact, so it can be transported more easily,<br />
saving on fossil-fuel consumption and reducing<br />
environmental pollution.
