Lipton stacks pouches in Japan

Looking to provide tea consumers in Japan with a package that differs from the standard folding carton, Lipton in April introduced three flavors of tea bags in an unusual Sleeve-In-Pouch (SIP) structure provided by Hosokawa Yoko (Mt. Laurel, NJ).

At Pack Expo, Hosokawa representatives described the pack as the first stackable stand-up pouch. It accomplishes this by using paperboard inside the film structure to give it a folding carton-like ability to stand. To manufacture the pack, Hosokowa acquires film from another supplier and converts it at its Fujioka, Japan, plant. The two-ply film includes a 20-micron (0.8-mil) heat-sealable oriented polypropylene. That material is reverse-printed gravure in six colors and dry-laminated to 50-micron (2-mil) linear low-density polyethylene.
