Quality and customers  

The importance of quality across the food packaging value chain

• Film manufacturers

  Using products with consistent specifications and reliable quality can allow film manufacturers to set up film making machines less often, which reduces stoppage of the production line.

• Film converters

  Using products with consistent specifications and reliable quality can allow film converters to set the tolerances on machines less often, which reduces having to repeatedly adjust for variations in films.

• Packagers

  When film converters implement processes to ensure a quality product, packaging works as it is designed – which can help prevent unnecessary food spoilage, wasted time and costs due to improved package performance.

• Brand owners

  The use of quality packaging material – and reliable and consistent packaging processes – can contribute to reliable food quality and consistent taste. This can help enhance the brand experience and reputation.

• Retailers

  Food that is packaged with quality material and consistent quality processes can contribute to fewer packaging returns.

• Consumers

  Quality packaging materials and packaging processes can help contribute to fresh looking, smelling and tasting food.

• Reduce, reuse, recycle or recover

  Plastic food packaging is too valuable to waste. End-of-life options include reduce, reuse, recycle or recover.
