Airless packaging refers to containers designed to protect their contents from air exposure, thereby maintaining the product's integrity and extending its shelf life. These containers typically utilize a vacuum mechanism to dispense the product without allowing air to re-enter.
The primary types of airless packaging include rigid plastics, bottles, jars, tubes, bags, and flexible plastics. Rigid plastics are robust and inflexible materials used for packaging that maintain their shape well. They are categorized as premium or mass-market, and their dispensing systems can include pumps, droppers, and twist-and-click mechanisms. Airless packaging is distributed through various channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialty retailers, convenience stores, and e-commerce platforms. It finds application across various sectors including personal care, home care, healthcare, food and beverages, and others.
