The pouch, which is designed to cater to a wide variety of products, is composed of three layers (triplex), all of which are made of polyethylene (PE).
The middle layer of the packaging, a metallised PE, can be used with medium barrier levels, which prioritizes the metallised appearance; or with very high barrier levels, which aids capturing and retaining humidity, oxygen and odours, suitable for products that require a very high level of protection.
These developments result in a product and concept which Saica flex says is highly adaptable to the products, specific needs and circumstances of clients at any given time.
The new packaging solution can be used in different sectors and markets, whether food or non-food products. Its high barriers to water vapour, oxygen, and light, reinforce the protection of the contained product.
In addition, the structural performance of this design is very strong, which Saica Flex said allows it to achieve the maximum packaging speeds comparable to conventional multi-material designs.
Additionally, the company said printing quality gives a premium look in a lightweight package.
