How to code flexible film efficiently?

Flexible film: a vital role in distribution chains

Flexible film is becoming the packaging material of choice for food manufacturers and other companies in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.

It is inexpensive, efficient to work with and available in a wide range of materials with diverse properties.

The challenge for manufacturers is to find the best technology for their application.
