Report description

This study examines the converted flexible packaging industry in the United States. Historical (2000, 2005 and 2010) data and forecasts to 2015 and 2020 are presented for materials, products and markets. Data for products are presented in dollars and data for primary materials are presented in pounds, with data for markets presented in both dollars and pounds. Demand (apparent consumption) is defined as production plus imports less exports, and includes both captive and merchant markets. In addition, the key strategic and competitive variables affecting the US converted flexible packaging industry are discussed, and the industry’s key players are identified and profiled. US market share is also presented. The entire study is framed within the context of overall economic conditions, as well as developments and technologies affecting the converted flexible packaging industry and its end users.

Converted flexible packaging generally consists of a single ply or multiple plies of paper, plastic film or foil (in various combinations) which are laminated together by an adhesive system. Coextruded and metalized plastic film is also included. Paper includes all grades and finishes except paperboard and molded pulp. Converting operations include coating, waxing, laminating, printing and the fabrication of bags, pouches and other preformed packages or rollstock that is converted into such forms. Slitting alone is not considered a converting process. Wrappers -- which are unconverted flexible materials such as shrink and stretch film, plain film and foil wrapping paper, unbleached kraft paper, and related products -- are also not included, although printed, coated or otherwise converted overwraps are included. Data also do not encompass any uncoated single web paper, film or foil that is neither preformed nor printed.
