Three major flexible packaging industry events highlighting the latest technologies, networking opportunities and milestone achievements take place within a 30-day time frame.
Toray Plastics (America) Inc. introduces its new Torayfan PWX5, a metallized BOPP film that is designed for use as a high-performance inner moisture- and oxygen-barrier web in gas-flushed applications.
As barrier properties get increasingly important for packaged food products, flexible players in the space seem to be gearing up for the development. Cosmo Films, known for its specialty films offers multiple barrier products.
Roll printing and converting industries have struggled for years with material handling methods. Plastic film/tube/bag extruders and web label printers all face the material handling issues daily.
Toray Plastics (America) Inc. announces the introduction of new bio-based lidding films. LumiLid bio-based, dual-ovenable lidding films are manufactured with Toray's proprietary sustainable resin blends, which are made with more than 50 percent renewable feedstocks.
Global demand for pouches is projected to rise 6.2 percent annually to $37.3 billion in 2018. Growth will be driven by consumer and producer preferences for standup pouches over more traditional rigid packaging.
