As the packaging industry increasing uses flexible packaging, Zip-Pak is developing new ways to open and close pouches. The company, in collaboration with supply chain partner and flexible packaging converter TechniPac, has introduced PresSURE-Lok, a new way to control the dispensing of liquid products.
The controlled-dispensing technology offers a unique all-in-one solution that combines a flexible pouch with a flexible, self-contained fitment, eliminating the need for a separate dispensing component. The user opens the seal by squeezing the flexible pouch, causing the liquid product to flow into the dispensing chamber. The package then automatically reseals itself for future use. This proprietary sealing mechanism allows the flexible package to lay on its side, or even upside down, without unintentional dispensing.
