The flexible packaging company used a specially-developed film structure and advanced laser-score technology to create the pull away panel, with the resulting pack robust enough to withstand the rigours of the supply chain, but still easy to open.
It can also be opened in the traditional way from the top of the pack for ultimate consumer convenience.
