Flexible packaging manufacturers in China boast significant advantages over their global counterparts in two crucial areas: labor and raw materials, and now first-rate quality on a par with international producers can be added to these advantages.

• Cheap labor and lower resin costs in Asia have been an advantage for several years;
• In the past 2-3 years a select number of Chinese manufacturers have been able to match and exceed the quality demands and regulatory requirements that western markets require, leading to a significant increase in demand from global buyers.
