Hard to print onto.

Bad for the environment.

Lamination contains several layers of foil, paper and plastic and does not

Tear easily;

Allow liquid through easily;

Allow evaporation.

PVC – you can add plasticiser to make more rubbery.

HDPE - stiff & can hold strong chemicals

TRENDS & RESULTS OF PACKAGING

The package designs are planned to reflect the many changing social and economic trends in the world. Several of those trends and resulting examples include:

health consciousness (nutrient and additive contents) family size/singles (different portions) economy (various sizes, quality levels) mobility (convenience items) novelty (152 new food and drug items were introduced in the U.S. in

June 1982) labeling requirements (contents and directions) available equipment (products for the freezer or microwave) time and convenience to purchase and use (various available sizes,

complete meals in a package) consumerism (consumer complaints have the highest influence on

pharmaceutical and health-related products) customs and social habits (beverage packaging) environmental concerns (reduced, reusable and recyclable

packaging)
