Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are packaging laminates used for?
Packaging laminates are multilayer films used in flexible packaging such as stand-up pouches, retort pouches, blister packs, and sachets to provide high barrier protection against moisture, oxygen, and UV light.
2. What materials are commonly used in multilayer packaging laminates?
Common laminate materials include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (BOPP, CPP), polyester (PET/BOPET), aluminum foil, paper, EVOH, and nylon for enhanced strength, sealability, and barrier performance.
3. Are packaging laminates recyclable and sustainable?
Traditional multi-material laminates are difficult to recycle, but mono-material PE laminates, MDO-PE films, and solvent-free lamination technologies are improving sustainability and circular economy compliance.
4. What is driving growth in the global packaging laminates market?
Market growth is driven by rising demand for convenience food packaging, pharmaceutical blister packaging, e-commerce-ready flexible packaging, and high-barrier sustainable laminate solutions.
