Flexible Packaging

AI-assisted polymer design screens millions of candidates to identify chemically recyclable packaging polymers that still meet barrier and thermal targets.

Film defects are process signals. Connect die flow, cooling symmetry, and winding stress to improve gauge control and roll quality.

PLA PHA compatibilization for blown film can widen processing windows and improve toughness. See why morphology and moisture control matter.

Polyolefins define modern plastics, but their chemical stability now drives a new search for smarter transformation pathways

Hyper-nucleated polypropylene improves clarity, stiffness and recyclability in rigid packaging by controlling crystallization.

Recycling plastics at scale remains a challenge as waste streams grow more complex. Mixed materials and contamination limit the performance of many recycling routes.

A two-year program conducted by CEFLEX gathered information from 1,700 data points and over 600 packaging samples. As a result, a design guide was developed to ensure the practical recyclability of flexible packaging.

Flexible bio-based polyester blocks transform brittle PLLA into ultra-tough copolymers with high extensibility and industrially relevant strength.

How private-label packaging systems balance brand coherence, differentiation, and material constraints across diverse retail categories.

As manufacturers embrace Industry 4.0, collaborative robots leveraging machine learning (ML) bring autonomy and efficiency to the factory floor.
