The packaging market is a true slam dunk in terms of growth, led by aseptic and extended shelf life (ESL).
Aseptic packaging uses a process in which operators prevent microorganisms from entering a package during and after packaging. During aseptic processing, operators fill a sterilized package with a commercially sterile food product and seal it within the confines of a hygienic environment. Sterilization of the food or beverage occurs with quick exposure to ultra-high heat, before rapidly cooling at an ambient temperature.
