The use of thermoplastics in both rigid and flexible packaging will continue to grow as long as the performance profiles and economics of these materials trend in a positive direction. The development of reusable plastic crates, pallets, and dunnage will depend on their ability to protect themselves as well as their contents in service.

For flexible films, environmental and cost considerations will encourage downgauging, placing new demands on additive technologies to address issues of strength, clarity, and barrier performance. Multiple conversion processes for both hard and soft applications will benefit from aids to processing and handling.
