Flexible packaging has become a basic necessity in this industry based world where we are dependent on a lot of packaged products. From food to drinks, soap to creams, oils to medicines, everything comes in a flexible packaging with the information printed on the packaging to indicate the ingredients, how to use, manufacturing and expiry dates, price, bar code, indicative images and so much more. But no one really thinks about the effort that goes into effective packaging. The fact is that there is a complete industry for this which has many flexible packaging companies in India, and by the rigorous processes they undertake to manufacture and print the packaging material, they are able to supply the desired packaging to various companies which then use it for packaging their products.

A notable name in this field is Paharpur 3P which manufactures the flexible packaging from LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE, PET, BOPP, CPP, nylon, aluminium foil, paper, and other materials and creates custom print on each package by a method called gravure printing, which is supposed to be the best way to produce HD prints in vibrant colours.

The different types of packaging that are produced are pillow pouches, spout pouches, stand up pouches, stand up spout pouches, sachets and foil pouches. The special pouches that are used for the packaging of the edible and perishable food and drinks are retort packaging. They are made by layering foil and plastic sheets to make it weather proof and contamination proof, aiming to increase its shelf life.

Pouch packaging is one of the oldest and simplest methods of packaging a product, it seals well and doesn’t take a lot of effort, money or time, which makes it a cheap and effective way of packaging goods. But once they are opened, they are not easy to store or reuse, the answer to which is a spout pouch, which has a little screwed cap on one corner. The pouch can be opened from the spout, used, and screwed tight again for spill-proof storage. It has now gained popularity with items like packaged beverages, sauces, detergent liquids, hand wash, sachets of creams and moisturisers. Pet food packaging is done in a folded or stand up bags that are big in size and sturdy to hold the weight of the pet food.

Liquid packaging is done in many ways, from spout pouches to pillow pouches, retort pouches to tetra packs, liquid packaging is done according to the consistency and perishability of the liquid packaged. Special care is taken for oil packaging as spillage can cause loss or even fire accidents as it is considerably flammable. Tamper evident pillow pouches are used for it, as they provide more flexibility and any tampering can be located easily to prevent spillage.

For Pharmaceutical packaging and agricultural chemicals packaging, foil pouches are used to prevent the damage in quality by the action of heat, light and microbes. Especially for the medicines and chemicals, aseptic packaging is used to make it contamination free from microbial activity.
