A Clear and Pleasant Flexibility: The Supermarket and Flexible Films

Closing the Loop

One of the more consumer-friendly advantages of flexible containers is the ability to reseal a package. Today's busy lifestyles demand convenience packaging, and that often means resealable. "This can be a screw-top for liquids, sometimes with nozzles for easier use. Then there are versions of Ziploc seals and even a Velcro-like closure that needs only minimal alignment," said Crimmin. For now, resealable pouches are most often found on dry items like nuts and fruit, but this option is expanding. Tuna fish in a flexible pouch? Before long, that just might be the start of your basic tuna sandwich.
