Innovative easy open solution
Flextrus, a flexible barrier packaging producer, has launched the first co-operation agreement in Europe with PopPack LLC, offering new ‘bubble in the seal’ technologies to easily open flexible packages. The innovation is based on a simple concept using a bubble with air as a lever to easily open packages when the bubble is popped.
“This is a bright new world for easy open packaging. PopPack’s technologies will broaden Flextrus’ product offering with additional alternatives for consumer convenient packaging,” says Ronny Gimbe, business development manager at Flextrus.
“We look forward to working with new and existing customers to implement these new easy open packaging features for consumer market opportunities in Scandinavia and Europe,” he adds.
The PopPack solution is suitable for consumer products packed in pouches and thermoformed packages, flexible as well as semi-rigid, says the company. The packages are easy to open and can be combined with reclosing feature eliminating the need of scissors, knives or teeth to open flexible packages.
PopPack produces an attractive “popping” sound which instantly engages the consumer and provides assurance of a pack with fresh contents and which has not been tampered with.
PopPack received the 2015 Packbridge Easy Open Award and the Packaging Innovation Award for Creative Technology at Japan Pack 2015 for its novel “bubble in the seal” easy-to-open packaging.
