Post-consumer recycled content (PCR) is no longer just a sustainability goal—it’s an operational reality. This technical deep dive explores how PCR works in packaging, why material variability creates real challenges, and what brands need to understand as recycled content requirements continue to evolve.

Metallized polyester uses an ultra-thin aluminum layer to provide strong barrier performance in flexible packaging. This article explains how MetPET is made, why real-world barrier can differ from datasheets, and when it’s the right material choice.

Low-density polyethylene, commonly known as LDPE, is one of the most widely used materials in flexible packaging. It is lightweight, flexible, and easy to process, which makes it a go-to choice for everyday packaging applications.

HDPE packaging is known for strength and durability, but its recyclability is what makes it increasingly important in flexible packaging today.

Polyester film, also known as PET, has quietly become one of the most trusted materials in flexible packaging. With its unmatched strength, clarity, and barrier properties, it’s a go-to choice for brands that need durability and shelf appeal. In this post, we explore the key advantages—and limitations—of polyester film to help you decide if it’s the right substrate for your next packaging project.

Nylon’s high tensile strength means it can survive that journey without tearing — making it a great choice for some of the toughest flexible packaging applications.
