They say it only takes 3 seconds to make a very first impression. Evidently, appearance here plays the vital role. Let us think about it. What does catch our eye when we walk in a supermarket in search of necessary goods? Of course, we draw our attention to packaging. The diversity of shapes, materials, colors is breathtaking. That is why, all the manufacturers aim to wrap up their products in the most appropriate and attractive way.
There is a wide range of packaging for food and beverage industry. The list of choices that might be interesting for manufacturers is simply incessant. For 30 years already, Technologia JSC has been surprising the flexible packaging market with its creativity, technical perfection and quality. Our highly professional team knows exactly how to make your product stand out on the shelves in the supermarket. Super Pouch is eminently suitable.
Sometimes, manufacturers have difficulty choosing Super Pouch or glassware. In this article, we will examine all the “pros” and “cons” of both to help you determine what is the best option for your drink.
For centuries, the drinks manufacturers in different counties worldwide have been giving their preference to the glassware. We could go on forever enumerating the types of products in it: from whiskey bottles to baby food jars.
It has become a part of human experience. We have well engraved in our minds that if the product is in glassware, it is more expensive and, consequently, of a better quality. In addition, such product seems to the consumer elite and elegant, inspiring a sense of luxury due to the delicate texture, pleasant tactile sensations and external attractiveness. Consumers are willing to spend a lot of money on fine glass bottles of mineral water, because it is widely believed that it gives the impression of rather high social standing.
Although the aesthetic appearance is a popular reason for the use of glassware, many consumers choose it for a completely different reason. People become increasingly focused on sustainable development, waste sorting and recycling, environmental responsibility. People choose the glassware deliberately, because they often see the horrible images with plastics and polyethylene pollution of the forests, beaches, oceans in the news.
Glassware is 100% recyclable. However, the consumer has to remember that much glass is still not thrown away in specially designated areas. The growing importance of the glassware use in the world focused on sustainability is partially a result of misinformation.
The ugly truth about glass, based on a number of scientific researches, is that it is no less harmful to the environment than plastic or polyethylene. Glass manufacturing is a highly energy-intensive industrial process.
The container and flat glass industries (which combined account for 80% of glass production) emit over 60 million tonne of CO2 emissions per year, which is more than the annual emissions from the country of Portugal (Ali Hasanbeigi, Ph.D., June 2018, Global Efficiency Intelligence).
Pros:
- Aesthetic and physical appeal
- Air of luxury
- 100% recyclable
Cons:
- High price
- Easy to damage or break
- Expensive manufacturing and transportation
- Harmful production
- High carbon footprint
Super Pouch is the product, in which Ttchnologia is a real expert. Our own production of polyethylene film, combined materials and closures contributes to the quality of our Super Pouch. We thoroughly control each stage of our manufacturing process by performing all the necessary tests in our high-tech laboratories. When manufacturing polyethylene film or combined materials, we focus on such important elements as strength and tear resistance, longer shelf life, food safety and freshness preservation.
Therefore, in favor of our Super Pouch speak the following facts:
- Super Pouch is designed and made to protect products from fluctuations in temperature, light, moisture etc.
- Super Pouch is a user-friendly type of packaging.
- Super Pouch is a strong type of packaging and it does not break when transported or dropped.
