The growth in demand for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), the rise in e-commerce activities and food delivery services, and a spurt in the demand for lightweight and sustainable packaging all work to power the growth of the global liquid packaging industry.

Considerations for Liquid Packaging

Prior to the products hitting the shelves, packaging and processing facilities must be set up to ensure that the product remains free of contaminants and potential spoilage before consumption.

Packaging design is highly important in keeping products protected from contamination and spoilage, but liquids foods need to be protected even prior to the packaging process.

It is important to utilize effective packaging equipment throughout the process to ensure that the products remain safe at all times. In the case of liquid food packaging lines, such equipment consists of reliable liquid filling machines and related packaging equipment specially designed to handle the product.

Nichrome’s superior capabilities are most apparent in its liquid packaging solutions.

Today, many lubricant and motor oil companies have shifted from rigid HDPE bottles to flexible pouches that provide superior burst and seal strengths. The pouches also offer novel design opportunities in terms of closures, spouts, handles and graphics.

Moreover, pouches are lightweight, enabling ‘last mile reach’ with dramatic cost reductions in freight. Fewer trucks used translates into significant reductions in fuel consumption, road emissions, fleet maintenance and operation costs. Flexible packaging also provides a more compact shelf footprint versus plastic bottles.

These advantages hold true for edible oil packaging as well, especially for small quantities up to 1 litre, where flexible pouches are growing in popularity due to their cost-effectiveness – both to manufacture as well as to transport and store. Pouches remain the preferred packaging solutions due to their malleability and low weight. Additionally, they protect the products from contaminants and improve retail value. In recent years, with rising income levels & health consciousness, the edible oil industry has witnessed a greater preference for packaged and branded oil. The import of premium oils such as olive oil and canola oil has increased with growing consumption, while oil companies introduce fortified oils to cater to the health aspect that’s top of mind for many consumers.
