Skin Packaging Solutions that Create Competitive Advantage
Skin packaging, a specialized method in the packaging industry, involves tightly wrapping a product with a thin, transparent plastic film. The film is vacuum-sealed around the product, adhering closely to its shape, and then attached to a backing material such as paperboard or aluminum foil. This method not only secures the product but also provides a clear view of the item, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and retail visibility.

01 Types of Skin Packaging
- Carded Skin Packaging: The most common type, where the product is placed on a pre-printed paperboard, and a thin film is vacuum sealed over it and the board.
- Non-Carded Skin Packaging: Here, the plastic film is sealed directly onto the product without any backing material, often used for bulk items and industrial parts.
- Recyclable Skin Packaging: This newer type uses materials that are easier to recycle, addressing environmental concerns associated with traditional plastic films.

02 Key Features of Skin Packaging
- Visibility: The transparent film provides excellent visibility, showcasing the product effectively to the customer.
- Protection: It offers physical protection from impact, dust, and moisture, extending the product’s shelf life.
- Tamper Evident: The package integrity is easily compromised if tampered with, providing a clear indication of tampering.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other forms of packaging, skin packaging is relatively inexpensive because it uses less material and requires simpler processes.
- Customizable: The backing materials and films can be customized in various sizes and prints to enhance brand visibility and information dissemination.
