U.K. dairy introduces hook-and-loop closure in cheese

Focus groups find the closure is easier to open and reseal than other fasteners for cheese packaging on the market. Consumers lacking finger dexterity will benefit.

Pw 3670 Milk Link Gripstrip

The slider has been the closure of choice in the cheese section of the store for the past decade. However, consumers with limited finger dexterity have expressed frustration with this closure, saying it can be difficult for them to operate.

Milk Link, a dairy farmer-owned co-operative in the U.K., may have found the answer to quell this frustration by introducing a hook-and-loop self-gripping fastener on flexible bags of its various cheese brands. The closure is made from food-grade, heat-sealable polyethylene.
