Flexible pouches offer recloseable convenience

Easy opening packs permit quick product access and unique recloseability.

During Pack Expo Las Vegas, Sal Pellingra, innovation and marketing director at Ampac Flexibles, demonstrates two easy-to-use packs. First, the E-Z ZIP® pouch that features a pull-tab opening that allows the user to pull away a thin tear strip to access the recloseable zipper. The package zipper then can be pulled open to dispense product and pressed closed to reseal. The closure is accessed without having to tear off or damage the header of the stand-up pouch.

Pellingra than shows the company's FlexiBOWL™ stand-up pouch that features Linear Tear film technology and specially designed "cool grips" that make the pouch suitable for the "ready-to-eat" food industry.
