Ultrasonic sealing protects nut-butter pouches

Yumbutter selects ultrasonic sealing to protect the seal integrity of its on-the-go pouches.

In order to withstand rough handling on-the-go, the weld integrity of the pouch was critical.
In order to withstand rough handling on-the-go, the weld integrity of the pouch was critical.

Out of a passion for natural foods and a lifelong love of peanut butter, in 2010, Adrian Reif and Matt D’Amour founded the Yumbutter brand of organic almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, and sunflower butter. Yumbutter is made from a variety of all-natural nut products as well as various other ingredients to boost the nutritional value of the product.

In conjunction with their natural foods business, the founders also initiated a social mission known as Buy One: Feed A Child In Need. Every time someone buys a Yumbutter product, the program helps feed a child in need through a partner non-profit medical clinic in Guatemala, where malnutrition rates exceed 70%.

Yumbutter has inspired and fueled many adventures. In fact, Reif uncovered the Spicy Thai Peanut Butter combination while trekking toward Mt. Everest Base Camp in Nepal. During the early years, Matt and Adrian continued to roam the city and country with jars of Yumbutter in their packs. Through their travels, the founders realized their product might serve customers and its social mission better if it could be packaged in lightweight, portable pouches as well as jars.

Thus, portable YumbutterGO was born in a unique, plastic squeeze pouch.
