In the supermarket shelves, in the mountains of parcels in the express post, soft packaging is everywhere with its light posture. This packaging form made of flexible materials is changing our way of life with amazing penetration and becoming a "flexible guardian" connecting production and consumption.
Food industry is the most widely used field of soft packaging. From the soybean milk upright bag on the breakfast table to the nut aluminum foil bag in the office drawer; From the composite film packaging of quick-frozen dumplings to the sealing cover material on instant noodle bowls, soft packaging guards food safety with excellent barrier and fresh-keeping functions.
