To meet the pouch sealing requirements for beverages, CLP “developed special PE, lamination, and pouch-making processes to ensure that there are no leaks during filling, shipment, or on the shelf,” notes Idan.

Retort pouches have been a very successful endeavor for CLP in recent years. But retort processes put increased demands on the packaging. Says Idan: “It can be quite challenging—seals must be able to withstand the pressure created when the pouch contents are heated in the retort chamber. Inks also have to be chosen carefully to perform under such extreme conditions.”
