Transparency is a general trend in the packaging market, consumers prefer to see what they are buying and brand owners can leverage the “shelf-appeal” of their product’s appearance to attract the busy, quality conscious consumer.
 | Since most of the transparent or translucent plastic packaging materials offer little to no UV light filtering, this leads to increased products’ exposure to UV light. Incorporated in transparent rigid or flexible packaging, Ciba® SHELFPLUS® UV filters will protect the content from the UV light damage and offer solutions meeting the market requirements. |
