Flexible barrier packaging manufacturer Flextrus will offer new bubble-in-the-seal technologies to easily open flexible packages, as the result of its first cooperation agreement in Europe with PopPack.
The innovation is based on a simple concept using a bubble with air as a lever to easily open packages when the bubble is popped. The PopPack solution is suitable for consumer products packed in pouches and thermoformed packages, both flexible as well as semi-rigid. The packages are easy to open and can be combined with a resealing feature, eliminating the need for scissors, knives or teeth to open flexible packages.
PopPack produces an attractive popping sound, which instantly engages the consumer and provides assurance of a pack with fresh contents and which has not been tampered with, Flextrus said.
It will exhibit the technology at Scanpack in Gothenburg this month.
Flextrus business development manager Ronny Gimbe said: “This is a bright new world for easy open packaging. PopPack’s technologies will broaden Flextrus’ product offering with additional alternatives for consumer convenient packaging. We look forward to working with new and existing customers to implement these new easy open packaging features for consumer market opportunities in Scandinavia and Europe.”
