Zip-Pak Introduces New Resealable Package Format For Overwrap

Manteno, IL - Zip-Pak, introduced the packaging format to feature resealable slider technology built into the "fin seal" of an overwrap-style package. A Hayssen Packaging Technologies RT2000 high-speed horizontal form/fill/seal system will be running live in Zip-Pak's booth (S-1214) to demonstrate the development of this innovative packaging format, according to the company sources.

packages for a wider opening and easier access to contents
• The package features an easy-open strip above the Slider profile for initial bag opening in one step without the need for scissors or knives.
• Zip-Pak's patented peel-seal feature below the slider profile acts as a hermetic barrier to extend product shelf life, and provides consumers with the security of a tamper-evident seal.
• ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ technology minimizes airflow into the package, helping to protect some products against oxidation for enhanced freshness.
• The new package format is compatible with zipper-ready horizontal form/fill/seal technologies

"The capability to reseal a package at the fin seal, coupled with consumer-preferred ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ technology enables brand owners to provide consumers with the convenience they demand and the product freshness they expect," said Robert E. Hogan, director of international sales and marketing for Zip-Pak. "This development is another example of Zip-Pak's continuous innovation with the goal of helping consumer product companies enhance brand preference."
