Flexible Packaging?A Bright Prospect

By 2007, pouches and bags used in food packaging are expected to make up $7.2 billion of the market of the U.S. demand for food containers—anticipated to reach $18.7 billion in the next three years, according to another Freedonia study called "Food Containers: Rigid & Flexible." The study also reports that pouches will present better opportunities than bags, expanding by 6.3 percent annually to 2007.
