PRODUCT DICTATES POUCH

Zipper constructions abound in new pouch designs as well. For example, SF&A employs its Mini-Grip Slider zipper, while LPS Industries manufactures the Top-Loc® zipper in clear, colored, or anti-static varieties.

Spouts, too, have become more efficient and popular in plastic pouch construction. Kapak Corp. paired with Seaquist Closures to incorporate the latter's SimpliSqueeze® dispensing technology into flexible pouches for food, health/beauty, and other applications. In the beverage industry, the SmartSpout is being positioned as an alternative to single-serve polyethylene terephthalate bottles.
