Foil Lamination is a Great Way to Differentiate Your Products on the Shelf and Achieve High Quality Packaging that will Protect its Contents and Hold Up to Harsh Environment or Wear and Tear.
Differentiating your products from the competition is always a challenge and a critical step in launching and maintaining a successful product line. There are many ways to attempt to differentiate your products. Some ways to accomplish this include offering cost effective or premium options, showcasing your customer service excellence, or providing environmental alternatives. Utilizing high quality, eye catching packaging that brings together form and function is an excellent way to achieve differentiation through brand promotional power, while also ensuring a suitable amount of protection for your products.
Packaging cannot be overlooked in the product development process. When executed well, packaging provides protection and promotion of products. Without the right protection, packaging fails and products spoil. Likewise, without creative and effective promotional power, packaging is dull and often gets lost among the countless options on the shelf. Foil lamination has increasingly become a successful way to check both of these boxes for the flexible packaging market.
Foil lamination for flexible packaging is the process of adhering thin gauge foil to other substrates. Some examples of materials foil can be laminated to include PET (Polyester Terephthalate) or OPP (Oriented Polypropylene) for printability. Foil is also frequently laminated to sealants such as various types of PE (Polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene). A very common complete lamination is trap printed PET/Foil/PE sealant. This can work well for anything ranging from small sachets to large agriculture pouches and everything in-between.
For starters, packaging that utilizes a foil looks great! Foil can be an effective way to give your products an eye-catching appeal on the shelf. It draws the attention of consumers with a shiny metallic texture and often gives the perception of premium value resulting in additional sales. Foil lamination isn’t all about looks, it also offers increased product protection characteristics. Foil is one of the best options when looking for high-end barrier protection. It provides complete protection from light exposure and an exceptional oxygen and moisture barrier. These high barrier offerings can potentially extend the shelf life of your product, which will help reduce spoilage and the impact on the environment.
