According to Toppan Printing, the decision to enter the Thai flexible packaging sector has been fuelled by the recent economic growth in the ASEAN region.

In recent years, Thailand’s urban areas are witnessing an increasing number of modern commercial stores, such as supermarkets and convenience stores that sell packed food.

The country has also been a major producer of processed foods for some time.
