The six-step pathway

From current pack to production—tailored to your pack and filling line.

01
Assess

Analyze the existing bag, product, shelf life and filling conditions.

02
Structure

Recommend a suitable PE-based structure, barrier and format.

03
Sample

Produce prototypes in the recommended structure and format for review.

04
Test

OTR, WVTR, seal and transport testing; the customer validates actual product shelf life.

05
Trial

Validate speed and seal on customer filling equipment.

06
Produce

Artwork, print, commercial production and QC.

Final specifications depend on package structure, dimensions, testing conditions, product characteristics and intended shelf life.

Start with your current package

Request a packaging assessment or samples to start the evaluation.

Recyclability notice

Recycling acceptance and collection methods vary by province, municipality and recycling program. A package described as “designed for recycling” has been developed with material compatibility in mind but may not be accepted in every local collection system.
