With the North American food packaging market valued at $93.19B in 2021 and a projected compound annual growth rate of 5.2%, manufacturers of food packaging are constantly seeking innovative ways to improve their product’s performance and make their packaging stand out. A common food packaging method of choice amongst a variety of brand owners is the forming/non-forming pouch – a two-part package that seals together a forming bottom web with a non-forming top web to create a finished thermoformed pouch. In today’s Product Spotlight, we’ll take a closer look at the specialized films that are used in forming and non-forming packaging.
