Material Composition | Long-shelf-life products (e.g., coffee, spices) | Industry: 2-layer PE (Recyclable code 4) Base: 3-layer PE/Aluminum/PET (ISO 14683) Advanced: 4-layer PE/Aluminum/PET/CPP (ISO 14683) ▲▲ | Advanced offers superior oxygen/moisture barrier (▲▲ vs Base) Lightweight yet durable | Higher cost for Advanced-tier materials |
Seal Strength | Leak-prone products (e.g., powdered mixes) | Industry: 12 N/15mm (ASTM F88) Base: 15 N/15mm (ASTM F88) Advanced: 18 N/15mm (ASTM F88) ▲▲ | Advanced prevents leaks in high-pressure environments (▲▲ vs Industry) Flat seal design for easy opening | Requires specialized sealing equipment for optimal results |
Print Quality | Branded consumer goods (e.g., cosmetics) | Industry: Basic digital printing Base: High-res digital printing (ISO 12647-7) Advanced: Gravure printing (ISO 12647-8) ▲ | Advanced supports photo-realistic logos and labels (▲ vs Base) Customizable designs | Gravure printing increases per-unit cost for small batches |
Weight Capacity | Heavy-load packaging (e.g., bulk powders) | Industry: Up to 500g Base: 750g (ISO 13322) Advanced: 1,000g (ISO 13322) ▲▲ | Advanced handles large quantities without tearing (▲▲ vs Base) Perforated tear strip for easy access | Thicker material reduces transparency slightly |
Chemical Resistance | Chemical-sensitive products (e.g., detergents) | Industry: Resists common acids (ASTM D543) Base: ASTM D543 (50+ chemicals) Advanced: ASTM F739 (30+ min permeation resistance) ▲ | Advanced withstands harsh chemicals like solvents (▲ vs Base) PE outer layer prevents UV degradation | Limited flexibility for extreme pH environments |
Environmental Impact | Eco-conscious packaging (e.g., organic foods) | Industry: PE (Recyclable code 4) Base: PE+Aluminum (Recyclable code 4+) Advanced: PLA (Compostable per ASTM D6400) ▲▲ | Advanced is fully biodegradable (▲▲ vs Base) Reduced carbon footprint | PLA may require industrial composting facilities |
