3 Most Popular Packaging Types in Asia

Asia is now one of the world’s largest packaging markets with the fastest recent growth rate. Even though the industry is undergoing some major changes as new players, methods, and regulations are being introduced, the three main packaging types are still dominating the packaging market in Asia. BizVibe determines the 3 mains types are: Poly bags, Corrugated boxes, and Blister packaging
