ALTERNATIVE POUCH WAVE?

Stick packs, four-corner seal, flat-bottom, and other emerging and pre-commercial pouches were identified as the “next wave in flexibles” according to a multi-client study authored by Allied Development Corp.

and published by Packaging Strategies. The study, Alternative Pouch Formats, says that such pouches will increase sales and sell prices for wet and dry foods, pet foods, healthcare products, frozen and baked foods,

agri-chemicals, beverages, and others. A hard-copy version of the study costs $4귔 $5ꯠ for PDF, plus $10 shipping and handling in the United States; $50 elsewhere. For a prospectus, or to order a copy of the study, call 610/436-4220, extension 11, or go online at www.packstrat.com.
