Packaging manufacturer Ampac has introduced its first commercial stand-up pouch, which utilises the QuickZip closure as an alternative to the traditional press-to-close zipper.
The format also incorporates the Aplix fastener system, and was created for almond producer Select Harvest’s stand-up almond pouches. In addition, the QuickZip closure with hook and loop technology “is easy to open and reseal for those that struggle with traditional closures,” Ampac said. “It allows minimal pressure to close, has rigid grips to facilitate opening and does not require precise alignment of the zipper.”
Including contaminant resistance, the closure allows for numerous openings and closings and is excellent for dry product applications as it readily seals through powders and fine particles.
“The pouch promotes a growing consumer trend of healthy snacking and addresses convenience, easy opening and the need for reclosability,” the manufacturer claimed.
Ampac senior market manager for food Millie Nuno added: “Ampac is proud to partner with Select Harvest in the advancement of its brand and to provide an enhanced consumer experience with innovation like the QuickZip closure in their California almond pouch. The pouch was printed, laminated and converted at our Hanover Park manufacturing centre of excellence.”
