Baked goods and flexible packaging must go hand in hand. Your products, from bread, mixes and ingredients to cookies, muffins, and pre-made cakes, not only deserve to shine in stores, on shelves and in customers’ homes, they deserve protection too.
Baked goods flexible packaging: The essentials
Adaptable, lightweight packaging
Flexible packaging is ideal for transporting and storing a variety of pieces of bread and other baked goods. Its malleability allows for a higher product-to-package ratio than other types of packaging. It provides greater convenience for storage on worktops and pantry shelves.
