Ajinomoto Selects Reclosable Stand-up Pouch from Ampac

But before the product could be commercialized there were several obstacles that needed to be overcome.

“When engineering a small pouch, you have to strike a delicate balance between height/width ratios so that it can accommodate the targeted volume and still be commercially viable,” says Rutman.

Due to the small size profile, Ampac had to find solutions to multiple pouch geometry issues. The pouch had to be wide enough so that there was enough room for the spout base to be inserted and heat sealed to the top of the structure. The height/weight ratios had to accommodate target fill volumes yet still offer the stability necessary to enable the pouch to stand up.
