The Invisible Battle: How Packaging Failure Ruins Products
As a packaging engineer with 15 years’ field experience, I’ve seen firsthand how improper barrier systems can destroy entire shipments. During a 2023 audit of a Colombian coffee cooperative, we discovered something alarming: 27% of their premium Arabica beans were degrading due to moisture penetration through inadequate packaging. This wasn’t just a quality issue – it cost them $180,000 monthly in rejected shipments to European buyers. This real-world challenge became the blueprint for VidePak’s FortiShield Edge series, engineered through 12-layer co-extrusion technology to achieve military-grade barrier integrity using Starlinger’s RX 8.0 laminating systems.
