When Frito-Lay introduced a compostable bag for its Sun Chips brand more than a decade ago, it represented over four years of development, encompassing material and scientific research as well as manufacturing and production. While the sound of those bags led to a marketing miss for such a groundbreaking achievement, the science and production advancement continues to resonate throughout the packaging industry as industrial producers pursue new packaging strategies.
Whether influenced by a sustainability strategy—think thinner containers for the bottled water industry—or a cost-control strategy through more damage-resistant packaging or production automation, the packaging needs for industrial manufacturers are constantly shifting and adapting to market trends, downstream demand, and financial targets. As those needs change, so do the facilities and production lines that make these packaging innovations possible.
