Technological solutions and innovations within aerosol packaging

摘要

Aerosol products combine convenience of use, various possible applications and high performance. Thanks to these features, a steady increase in their sales is observed on the global market. Yearly, over 15 billions units are globally produced and among this more than 5,5 billions are made in Europe [1, 2]. An integral part of the aerosol product is its packaging. As the size of the aerosol market opens the gate for innovations, packaging components' manufacturers try to develop packaging in both construction, material, technological and marketing directions, to get the bigger share of worldwide aerosol market. The article will review the solutions which are currently used as well as the innovations in the context of aerosol packaging. It will also demonstrate the need for further development within this segment of industry.
