Flexible Plastic Packaging Market in the US 2015-2019

About flexible plastics
Flexible plastics are a category of plastics that are thin, light, and easily stretchable, yet retain barrier characteristics along with being resistant to tearing or puncturing. These properties make flexible plastics suitable for manufacturing packaging products. They are chemically inert, cheap, and visually appealing, which enhances the appeal of the product they are used to pack.

Generally, they are used to pack non-durable and fast-moving unit loads and have limited bulk industrial use, with the exception of FIBCs. The key customers of flexible plastic packaging products are the F&B, personal care, and pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.
