Packaging Laminates are the films used to wrap or protect products or, items such as food, to prevent damages from the surrounding environment. Even though the conventional materials such as glass and metal possess higher barrier properties, they themselves are more vulnerable to breaking and corrosion. Which is why, more suitable alternatives were introduced, which include plastic, paper and other such materials. Packaging laminates are used to improve the strength of materials by making them more resistant to tearing, to protect the goods during packaging and distribution, to help keep the aroma, freshness of the food intact, to protect the food from deteriorating, etc. To make it more aesthetically pleasing, most of these packaging Industries use laminated packaging films. While these films help give extra shelf life to the products, by avoiding damages done to it by the external elements, they also manage to make the products look good at the same time.
