American packaging brand Sonoco has expanded its ClearGuard portfolio to include pouches for liquid or more viscous products.
The company claims its expanded product line will be able to withstand high pressure and high temperatures, as well as preserve the shelf life of its contents. The low oxygen and water vapour transmission rates will help protect the food inside.
With the importance of showing consumers the product inside its packaging, Sonoco aims to provide an alternative to aluminium foil or metallised films.
Director of marketing at Sonoco Pete Gioldasis said: “With growing demand from consumers for transparency, not just with ingredients and labelling, but also with a desire to actually see what they are buying, ClearGuard offers brands a way to satisfy their customers, without sacrificing quality.”
“We’re able to deliver both presentation and protection. Our ClearGuard portfolio of structures has already helped multiple customers achieve success with applications like trail mix, jerky and snack bars. And with this latest technical development, we’re now able to expand the portfolio to include highly engineered structures capable of withstanding more demanding applications.”
