Both rigid and flexible packaging have certain benefits depending on the applications and business goals, which makes them different and appropriate to use. Rigid packaging offers better protection, high-end positioning, and better barrier properties at a higher cost and negative impact on the environment through the materials and transportation. Flexible packaging also offers high cost savings, shipping performance, and flexibility in design at the risk of reducing the level of protection and barrier functionality. The best option should be selected with the consideration of product features, brand position, budget limitation, distribution demand and sustainability objectives. Most of the effective packaging solutions are ones that take the hard and soft aspect in order to give the greatest advantage with minimal disadvantages resulting in hybrid products that offer the best product protection, cost-effectiveness, and customer experience across the entire supply chain.
