Elplast has announced that it will introduce a new line of innovative powder-resistant zip closures at a packaging industry trade show.
The manufacturer of the existing EL-Zip brand of premium press-to-close zippers is introducing the new powder-proof closure range, which it claimed is “a great option for packages containing powdered and granular products such as ground coffee, cocoa powder, sugars, and other similar products”.
The products will be exhibited at Packaging Innovations in Birmingham at the end of February.
Elplast said: “Thanks to their unique design, these press-to-close zippers can be added to packages containing powdered and granular products with the confidence [that] the closure will remain functional, helping to keep products fresher, longer.
“These closures also include a unique additive helping repel powders from the press-to-close zipper profiles further enhancing the effectiveness of the closure for powdered and granular products.
“The unique design and additive used in EL-Zip powder-resistant zippers offer an effective combination helping eliminate the irritation caused by press-to-close zippers failing to function properly after becoming clogged by powdered and granular products. EL-Zip powder zippers are available in many different sizes and variations including double profiles, custom colours, audible features, tactile feel, retort capable, and differential opening forces.”
