Pouching progress

Almost every consumer product company seems to want a standup pouch these days, and producing pouches has been a learning experience for Admiral, which now runs two pouch-making machines. "It takes years to become a good pouch maker," affirms Frank. "Everything in the process impacts how that final pouch looks, from laminating the films to printing to applying the zippers. And making pouches can be the slowest process! You can print a big run of them in a few hours but it can take a few days to completely finish the pouches."
