According to article in bakingbusiness.com (<\/em>https:\/\/www.bakingbusiness.com\/articles\/51174-the-importance-of-flexible-packaging-in-the-snack-category<\/em><\/a>), “the modern baking and snack consumer wants packaging that keeps products fresh and tasty as long as possible and offers easy-to-eat, single-serve portions for their on-the-go lifestyle. These consumer demands are driving packaging designers to look toward flexible packaging options.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible packaging now accounts for close\nto 40% of global packages, according to the Flexible Packaging Assessment Report\nfrom PMMI Business Intelligence, part of PMMI. Within flexible packaging, food\nremains the largest industry by end-use, with biscuits\/snack bars and sweet and\nsavoury snacks combining to represent the largest growth segment among areas\nexceeding industry growth rates. This aligns with consumers\u2019 increasing\nawareness of the health benefits of snacks such as nuts, dried fruits and\nnutritional bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPG companies recognize that food, in\ngeneral, is experiencing a higher increase in production and sales using\nflexible packaging, and is moving many in the snack food sector to embrace this\nformat. The industry is now gearing toward on-the-go packaging, user\nconvenience, smaller pack sizes and easy-to-open and resealability features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, the use of bags and pouches is increasing because of the lower cost, shelf-life extension and product visibility. Adding modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) can extend shelf life even more. Coupling the advances of MAP and high-performance films give CPGs flexible packaging products with excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance against bacteria growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
