Flexible packaging testing: the materials

The most popular flexible packaging materials include paper, aluminum foil and plastic films. Some packages are created from a single material, while others take advantage of combinations of materials.

Each layer of the flexible packaging performs a specific function, from structure to sealing. It might be a film there to create a barrier or foil that’s offering a protective coating. To get a full picture of the durability and capability of an item of packaging, it is often essential to test every layer individually – as well as the combined result.
