With single-use plastic restrictions in the European Union, North America, and Southeast Asia, eco-friendly packaging can help smooth exports.

More efficient logistics

Flexible and environmentally friendly packaging is lightweight and takes up little space, saving transportation costs.

Challenges in Eco-Friendly Snack Packaging

Despite the significant advantages, custom eco-friendly snack packaging is still facing the following challenges:

• Insufficient barrier properties: PLA, paper and plastic, and other materials have poor natural airtightness, which affects product freshness.
• High cost: the price of environmentally friendly materials is generally higher than the traditional PET, BOPP composite structure.
• Poor compatibility of packaging machinery: some environmentally friendly materials in high-speed bag making or heat sealing when there is a technical bottleneck.
• Consumer education is not perfect: how to correctly identify and handle environmentally friendly packaging still needs to be promoted.
