Packaging and Films

Packaging is an essential component of almost every product which is marketed and sold. From its early origins in materials such as shells and leaves, packaging has served the purpose of containing a product, protecting it from spoilage and damage during the distribution process and throughout its shelf life. Today packaging provides a medium for conveying product information to the consumer as well as providing shelf appeal, safety, security and convenience features.  

Package designers are continuously looking for materials that provide the right combination of these features and in most cases no one polymer is suited for the job.  Many flexible and rigid packages contain multiple materials in compounds, blends and coextrusions to meet the demands of the consumer. As packaging becomes increasingly sophisticated, so do the requirements for advanced materials that meet a range of performance expectations.  Whether you design or manufacture flexible or rigid packaging Kraton® polymers are well suited to meet the needs of your package design.  

Kraton polymers bring toughness and flexibility to packaging and can be blended or coextruded with many plastics to modify and maximize their performance. Processing capabilities include blown and cast film, injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming and blow molding applications.
