The food packaging industry is witnessing a paradigm shift with the emergence of innovative forming films that are reshaping the way we preserve and distribute perishable goods. These advanced films, designed specifically for food packaging solutions, are gaining traction as they offer a combination of superior performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

Chief among them are the nature of the food itself, as different types of cuisine exhibit varying degrees of resilience against microbial growth and degradation. Additionally, the ambient temperature where the vacuum-sealed packages are stored plays a pivotal role; cooler temperatures significantly slow down the spoilage process, while warmer environments accelerate it.

The evolution of food packaging has required advances in multilayer plastic film technology, which has moved on from the traditional 5/7 layer design to more complex structures over the last few decades.

The thickness of flexible packaging film can vary significantly depending on its intended application, packaging requirements, and cost considerations. There is no universal standard for the thickness of flexible packaging film, as it can range from a few micrometers (μm) to several hundred micrometers.
