The driving forces behind this growth include the expansion of e-commerce and the food & beverage industry. Despite the convenience and affordability of plastic as a packaging material, its ecological impact has raised concerns. In response, manufacturers have been actively introducing environmentally-friendly packaging alternatives.
PE films have emerged as a compelling solution in this context. They combine durability with the ability to shield products from various elements such as sunlight, moisture, oxygen, and dust. Furthermore, their convenient printing surface allows brands to display essential product information and interactive features, enhancing the overall customer experience.
