Controlpack is a leading packaging solutions company committed to the constant search for innovation and efficiency to meet the needs of its customers. In this article, we will explore what flexible packaging is from the company's point of view, its characteristics, benefits and the machines that make it up.
At Controlpack we have identified the potential of this approach and worked hard to develop flexible packaging solutions that make a difference in the industry through horizontal wrapping with Flowpack packers, horizontal wrappers and shrinkwrappers. In this article, we will highlight the former.
Differences between flexible and rigid packaging
Although both flexible and rigid packaging serve the purpose of protecting and preserving products, there are fundamental differences:
Rigid Packaging: Formed by hard materials such as glass, hard plastic, metal, wood... that maintain their shape regardless of the contents. Ideal for products that require high protection and firm support.
Flexible Packaging: Made with light and elastic materials such as plastic, aluminum or paper, it adapts perfectly to the product, optimizing its storage and transportation. Its lightness and efficiency in the use of resources make it more sustainable.
Flexible packaging: Wide range of features
At Controlpack, we seek efficiency, optimization and safety as the ultimate goals for each of our products. In the case of our flexible packaging, it is characterized by:
Adaptability to a wide variety of products: food, beverage and other products. Its flexibility makes it ideal for products of different shapes and sizes.
Protection and anti-pollution: The hermetic seal of flexible packaging provides an effective barrier against moisture, light and oxygen, protecting products and extending their shelf life.
Attractive presentation: Flexible packaging offers the possibility of incorporating high quality print and graphics, enhancing product presentation on shelf and attracting consumer attention.
Storage efficiency: The compact and lightweight nature of flexible packaging allows for more efficient storage in warehouses and on shelves, reducing logistics and transportation costs.
Sustainability: Some materials used in flexible packaging, such as biodegradable materials, contribute to greater sustainability in the packaging process.

Attractive and functional design: Flexible packaging offers a wide range of design possibilities, allowing brands to stand out on the shelf and attract consumers. In addition, its ability to hold different sizes makes it easier to adapt to specific product needs.
Flowpack flexible packaging
The Flowpack packaging method is one of the most widely used in the field of flexible packaging. It is mainly based on a horizontal packing or bagging technique, used for individual packaging by sealing a bag on three sides in the form of a pillow, guaranteeing a perfect finish and an inviolable seal.
Flowpack packaging process:
- Place a product inside a plastic film or flexible material.
- End sealing.
- Cutting of the film into individual sections.
- Obtaining sealed packages around the product.
