Plastic packaging is among the most familiar forms of packaging. Thus, there is always a concern about its capability to retain the quality of products in their original form. There is a rising need for products that can provide a high protection level to products, particularly for the food and beverage industry. Hence, various barrier packaging options have been commercialized that prevent and preserve perishable products by increasing their shelf-life, such as pharmaceuticals, foods,  beverages, etc. Moreover, lifestyle-related changes among the population, rapidly changing consumer preferences, and availability of advanced technology have decreased the demand for traditional packaging.
