Composite packaging refers to a type of packaging material made up of multiple layers of combined materials that provides durability and enhanced protection to the packaged products. The packaging system utilizes the specific properties of each layer to create a packaging solution combined using adhesives or lamination techniques to create a cohesive and robust structure. Some of the most common materials used in composite packaging include aluminum foil for moisture and oxygen barrier, plastic film for strength and flexibility, and paperboard for rigidity and printability. The layering of different materials offers excellent barrier properties against moisture, gases, light, and odors as well as provides strength and protection against impact and compression. In addition to this, composite packaging is highly customizable, allowing for variations in thickness, size, and shape to suit diverse product and packaging requirements. Some of its advantages include extension of the shelf life of perishable goods, enhanced brand visibility through attractive design and branding elements, and greater convenience with features, such as resealable closures, easy-opening mechanisms, and portioning options.
