Advancement of plastics received an impetus in the last two to three decades as natural materials such as wood was not available in ample quantities; artificial materials such as steel, and glass were found to be very expensive or could not provide cheaper solutions for packaging products of mass consumption.

In the modern era, the usage of plastics both in terms of quantity and variety is perhaps the correct index of industrialization. Besides, the increasing application of plastics in food packaging has boosted the growth prospects in recent years.

To further enhance food safety, several producers consider the use of clear box packaging. This packaging permits the consumer to display the product before buying, so they can ensure it has not been compromised and will function properly once it’s out of the packaging.

Clear plastic packaging not only improves food safety, however, modern plastic is also more resilient than paper, so it also shields a product’s integrity. Plastic packaging, along with advances in other forms of packaging, allows for better-quality packaging performance, functionality, and durability.

From baby bottles to optical lenses to television or mobile phone, the applications list is unending for clear plastics. Nowadays, there is an abundance of clear or transparent plastic materials that make products more striking as well as portable to use over conventional glass.

Clear plastic boxes also assist in building trust over the brand and product, as customers can see the product before purchase. Rendering to this, clear plastic packaging serves to both protect the product and deliver an extraordinary form of marketing. Despite judging products based solely on the appeal and design of the package, consumers can instead make purchases based on the product’s actual quality.

In response to the changing trends, the old-style processing and packaging technologies have either been upgraded or a few novel technologies have progressed to match new requirements. Manufacturers are investing in R&D to create lightweight, durable, and shatter-resistant products by reducing the lower production costs

These new processes either extend the shelf-life of a food product or allow more sophisticated products or different packaging concepts. They also improve the nutritional and sensory properties of the food product during its entire shelf-life. The demands and requirements of consumers constantly change.

As new and innovative products advance, so do the methods used to package these products. In Oct 2021, Printex Transparent Packaging (PTP) has a New clear 100% PCR PET that looks virtually identical to virgin PET and it is made from 100% domestically sourced recycled PET plastic.

Up until now, North American PET sheet and film producers have only offered up to 25% and 50% post-consumer recycled content (PCR) plastic for box-grade packaging. Previously, it was difficult to produce a clear and un-tinted PET in 100% PCR. PTP calls their new material Eco-PET 100. It's a sustainable, clear replacement for virgin PET.

Considering these factors, Future Market Insights forecasts that the clear plastic boxes market is likely to witness moderate growth over the projection period.
