Driven by retailers and consumers seeking products made with fewer resources, the demand for sustainable flexible packaging solutions is rising steadily. Less material consumption reduces the impact on the environment, therefore downgauging is one of the targets, allowing lighter weight by using thinner materials and reducing the number of layers.

Consumers are increasingly looking for user-friendly and functional packaging designs that provide added value such as convenience in consuming, opening and re-closing of products. Such designs are also in line with the growing global demand for ease of use, safety, sustainability and product appeal.

Whether dairy products, fruit juice, soups and sauces, pet food, washing powder or detergents – packaging adhesives can be found frequently in our daily lives. As your experienced partner, Henkel offers the right solutions for your flexible packaging applications.
