mondelz partnered with battelle to develop a new packaging reclosure as an economical replacement to zippers and other reseal technologies. called low tack adhesive lta. the product only sticks to itself when simply pressed together, but with high enough bond strength to provide a secure yet easyopen reclose feature. lta sticks to itself and nothing else, packages might be less messy without the product inside clogging or interfering with the reclosure feature. the adhesive can be preapplied to a variety of packaging films using conventional printing and coating technologies. it is then ultraviolet uv cured. films with lta applied can be run on existing packaging machines with little to no modifications and at existing line speeds.
