Zip-Pak to Showcase Latest Advancements in Flexible Packaging at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2013


Brand managers, marketers and package designers can gain insight on resealable closures that are a step ahead of consumer demands.



Manteno, Illinois — Zip-Pak will feature its state-of-the-art flexible packaging technology at PACK EXPO 2013, Booth C-1505, September 23-25.



Among the many flexible packaging solutions by Zip-Pak are:



Pour Lok™

Pour & Lok is a resealable packaging solution that combines easy opening with pour spout functionality. A press-to-close, foldable zipper is pre-applied to film in the side gusset creating a partial opening that forms the package’s easy-to-use pour spout.



Zip360™

The Zip360 resealable pouch has a wide opening that allows easy access to contents. It features pour-spout functionality for easy product dispensing. The unique package format reseals two ways for neater stacking and easier access. The Zip360 flexible pouch also accepts full-panel graphics for more visual impact at point of purchase.



Vector™

The Vector Resealable Matrix Fastener closes on itself and has no end termination, enabling consumers to easily scoop and pour package contents with full perimeter re-sealability. Resealable Matrix Fasteners are a family of self-mating closures that represent an easy-to-use alternative to traditional zipper profiles. Vector is an ideal zipper for a wide range of package formats thanks to a reseal matrix that is easier to align and superior air-seal capabilities, when compared to other closures.



Zipbox®

Also being featured is Zipbox, a hybrid packaging format that combines the consumer-preferred attributes of flexible and rigid packaging into a novel combination of materials that is both value adding and user-intuitive. It provides an ideal solution to the long-standing consumer need for easily resealing a carton and maintaining product freshness after opening. Zipbox is being co-developed by Zip-Pak and T.H.E.M., a leader in technology transfer and packaging solutions.
