Thanks to the design of Performance Packaging’s PouchPop™, a feeding infant coming into contact with a pouch’s hard plastic edges, threads, straws, seals, and foil edges of food pouches are no longer a concern for parents and caregivers of the young children.
PouchPop™ is engineered with a clinical understanding of infant and toddler feeding. The PouchPop™ is only 1¼” high and are designed to securely screw on/off to prevent slippage during self-feeding by the infant. The patent-pending PouchPop™ includes a universal fit and work with any food pouch designed for babies. It is manufactured with premium, hospital-grade silicone that is soft and supple and are also BPA-free and free of phthalates. The universal fit not only makes it easy to use and re-use, but can also be conveniently cleaned by hand and is dishwasher-safe. Additionally, PouchPop™ is pediatrician-recommended.
“The PouchPop™ protects the child’s delicate mouth from the numerous ‘ouch points’ on a food pouch,” explained Rob Reinders, president of Performance Packaging of Nevada. “Specifically, those points are (1) the hard leading edge of the straw, (2) hard thermoplastic threads, (3) hard plastics used for both breaking the cap seal as well as the assembly of the pouch, and (4) the foil edges on both sides of the pouch.”
Reinders added, “PouchPop™ is not just an attachment: it’s an investment in a child’s safety and comfort. We really believe the design provides a smooth transition from bottle feeding to the nutritious solid foods provided in today’s modern pouches.”
The ingenuity and comfort of PouchPop™ have also captured the attention of the medical community. “The PouchPop design is an excellent and safe solution to provide soft pureed foods to infants and toddlers in a much more intuitive and interactive way than the current pouch product design,” explained Jae H. Kim, M.D., Ph.D., clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
PouchPop™ is available in packs of four through Amazon.com (key word: pouch pop). It is also available for brand owners to enter into the retail market under their marquee names as well.
