  • Moisture and Oxygen Protection:Barrier structures can be selected according to how sensitive the product is to moisture, oxygen, and aroma loss during storage and distribution.
  • Light and Shelf Life Requirements:For products that need stronger protection from light exposure or longer shelf life, higher-barrier structures can be considered.
  • Sealability and Filling Performance:Material combinations can also be adjusted to support sealing strength, filling conditions, and practical handling during production.
  • Finish and Product Presentation:Different structures and surface layers can help achieve the desired appearance, whether the goal is a more natural kraft look, a matte premium finish, or a cleaner retail presentation.
