With a strong consumer need for long-lasting product shelf life and healthier foods without preservatives, aseptic packaging has a big job that’s getting smaller.
Aseptic packaging is growing by leaps and bounds – and it’s no wonder. Aseptic packaging is made to be convenient – it is portable and lightweight, which is a big consumer draw.
Filling and closing has become more flexible, more compact and somewhat confusing. Should you buy the hype? The machinery has two jobs: Filling a pouch, bottle, carton, vial or the like and then closing it – by sealing, capping or otherwise.
Demand for aseptic packaging in the US is projected to rise 6.8% per year to $6.4 billion in 2020, with unit demand reaching 68.5 billion on annual gains of 3.7%.
