The Turkish flexible packaging material sector ,

Had been producing OPP film structures for food packaging, which had the largest share in consumption, until the early 1990s. After all, the concentration in the fast moving consumer goods was on the foodstuffs rather than the cleaning or cosmetic materials. The fundamental feature of foodstuffs, on the other hand, is very high market circulation, i.e. they can be sold out rapidly without waiting on the shelves for long time. Under these circumstances, it is unnecessary for the flexible packaging materials used to wrap up the foodstuffs to have very high barrier feature. When the foodstuffs like biscuits, candies, legumes, macaroni, dried nuts, etc. are packaged in a material with medium barrier feature, like OPP film, they could remain fresh sufficiently when bought by the end user. 

However, the increasing number of the new products launched in our market by the multinational firms operating in the fast moving consumer goods sector as well as the increased volume of marketing and promotion activities for their previously-launched products have led to an increase, in return, in the need for packaging materials that are more qualified and have higher barrier feature compared to OPP film structures.
