EASY OPENING
Easy opening is used to improve the ease of increased hygiene and safety in access to the contents in the bag.
The ease of opening is a very important factor in the design of consumer packaging, because it is essential for the consumers of all ages, both sexes and groups with lower than average strength in the hand (the power in the hands decreases with age) to be able to get safely to the contents. Packaging, which can be easily opened by the elderly consumer, will in most cases be easily opened by the average consumer.
Packaging with one of the easy opening type can be controlled even by children or older people, but also by people with physical or sensory impairments. Question of easy and safe accessibility to packaged goods becomes more important with the increasing percentage of elderly in the world population and higher limits in this population group.
