Plastic packaging. What uses do you have today?
Plastic packaging is one of the most widespread options and used by most companies when it comes time to package their products. It has many advantages, and its commercial success is undoubted. It has qualities that make it perfect for packaging or packaging within the current industrial production chains.
It is a stable, light, strong and very easy to sterilize material. On the other hand, we also find in it “barrier properties”, which are those that protect products and foods from moisture or contact with gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. They are essential to ensure their conservation. Its uses are many and varied. It is used for both commercial and consumer products, as well as medical and industrial products.
Advantages of plastic packaging compared to other systems
Nowadays, more than half of the products that are packed in Europe are with this material. On the contrary, this usually does not constitute more than 20% of the total weight of the product. In the industry, a light packaging material decreases the weight of the load and, therefore, the costs for its distribution are also reduced.
In terms of food, the plastic packaging, thanks to its barrier properties, ensures that these retain their flavor and nutritional properties. Preserves perishable foods under optimal conditions and helps reduce the amount of preservatives or additives used for it.
Plastic containers have evolved in conjunction with the current demands of society and the market. Currently, all products require clear and visible labeling. The plastic allows this and even the integration of printable RFID chips or “radio frequency identification”, where you can enter all the information you need without problems.
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that it is hygienic and protects from pollutants more than the others materials intended for packaging. If airtight seals are used, a very high degree of protection can be achieved. Besides, if the plastic is transparent, it allows us to see the product without touching it.
