Flexible Pouch Benefits

Customizability

Flexible pouches are easily customized with shape, size, film structure, and design. Customizability helps brand owners to differentiate, and products can stand out on shelves or websites.

Cost

Flexible pouches use less plastic than rigid containers. Compared to rigid packaging, flexible pouches could reduce weight by up to 90%. Therefore, flexible pouches have less impact on the resin price increase. Along with the material costs, flexible pouches are exceptionally lightweight and stackable, making them cost-efficient for transportation and storage.

Performance

Flexible pouches are durable and less likely to be affected by cosmetic abrasion. That is why brands prefer flexible pouches for their e-commerce packaging. In addition to physical durability, flexible pouches can easily modify their film structure to meet protective requirements such as oxygen and moisture barriers.

Sustainability

Flexible pouches improve sustainability from manufacturing to the end of the lifecycle. Even though most flexible pouches are not currently recyclable, they significantly reduce environmental impacts than other alternative packages.

Resource Efficient

Recycling is a critical aspect of product sustainability. However, the reality is that the US recycling rate is quite low. The recycling rate for recyclable plastic such as PET and HDPE is still only 30% compared to the 65% paper recycling rate. Flexible pouches are more resource-efficient, resulting in less packaging waste even with low recycling rates.

Recycling Options

Even though flexible pouches are known for multilayer construction, the packaging industry has seen tremendous improvements in the innovation around recyclability in the last few years. There are many monomaterial flexible pouches introduced in the market. Monomaterial structures have unique challenges such as bonding strengths and barrier properties. Especially for liquid, the packaging must have higher durability than dry contents due to a leakage possibility. Read the MONOSOLUTIONS™ blog to learn more about ZACROS’s monomaterial product line.
