As European consumers continue to seek high-quality packaged foods, and with stringent food safety regulations in place, the need for advanced barrier packaging solutions is more crucial than ever. The rising demand for convenience foods and the growing popularity of online grocery shopping are further fueling the adoption of high-performance packaging solutions.
