Flexible Packaging Markets

RKW and SAES Coated Films have developed premium performance films for sustainable food packaging.

Holmen PACK is a fresh and smooth paper for flexible packaging solutions.

Based on a late March 2020 study, when the North American impact of COVID-19 was beginning to make itself known, L.E.K. Consulting, a global consulting firm, predicted that the packaging industry’s future was bright and that the pandemic would have a major — positive — impact.

The company says that it’s the first semi-automatic form, pack and seal solution developed for e-commerce applications.

The company began using TIPA’s bags after an introduction from its vendor, Abel & Cole.

The concept has an increased output of up to 130 bags per minute with Syntegon’s PHS 2.0 sealing system, a 20 micrometer-thin BOPE film from SABIC and mechanically and chemically recyclable film.

Packaging is a primary focus for the growing cannabis-infused food and beverage industry, including products infused with health-focused non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD) — which have global appeal — and those infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which compete with beer, wine and spirits in the 11 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia, which have all rescinded cannabis prohibition for adults.

The new film is from SABIC’s collaboration with Syntegon, Ticinoplast and Plastchim-T.
