Europe &ndash amcor flexibles and velcro europe have formed a strategic partnership to bring an innovative easytoopen and reseal system to the fresh and dairy flexible packaging market.
Developed as the ideal solution for all types of cheese, milk powder, fresh ready meals, bread and fresh fruit and vegetables, amcor flexible film pouches can now be sealed using velcro&rsquos patented brand presslok technology which guarantees a high degree of functionality due to hooks still closing even when contaminated with food, unlike existing closure systems where the rail track can become easily obstructed and inoperable. &ldquothe purpose of this cooperation is to offer our customers a complete solution &ndash consisting of separate film and tape &ndash which is applied inline on their packing lines in whatever material specification best suited to meet their specific needs viz.
Providing a barrier against light, oxygen, puncture resistance and so forth,&rdquo says amcor flexibles europe & americas marketing director philippe scherrer. &ldquoand of course we can also produce pouches incorporating the presslok closure here at amcor flexibles porto if so required.&rdquo &ldquothe solution is not yet available on the market but has been successfully tested.
Whilst it&rsquos not our intention to compete at a lowerend price there&rsquos no doubt that this solution represents a great opportunity for brand owners to build consumer satisfaction and loyalty for a limited oncost as we offer a better performance than other mechanical solutions currently available.&rdquo
