Semi-rigid packaging combines some of the advantages of flexibles with those of rigid packaging. Because of its characteristics, including barrier effect, impermeability, and strong mechanical properties, aluminum is one of the materials utilized in this field that is most adaptable.
Aluminum foil, PET bottles, set-up paper board cartons, and molded pulp containers are examples of semi-rigid packaging materials. Glass, metal, wood, fiberboard, and other materials are used to make rigid packaging.
The global semi – rigid packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

In collaboration with O F Packaging, PREP Design has created a way to recycle semi-rigid plastics using the current kerbside recycling infrastructure. Customers can dispose of monopolymer semi-rigid pouches and bags using the Roll ‘n’ Recycle system at the curb for recycling and sorting.
In order to be collected, the scheme mandates that consumers roll their packaging and fasten it with a specifically designed label before depositing it in their co-mingled recycling container. During production, the label will be applied to the packaging.
