Ampac Debuts Front-Panel Zippered Pouch

Ampac Flexibles has launched a reclosable, stand-up pouch that situates the zipper on the pouch’s front panel. In the Easy Zip Pouch, the user pulls a tab to access the zipper located below the header.

Packagers do not have to fill through a zipper and users don’t have to struggle with getting to the zipper through the top of the package. Also, waste from a discarded header is eliminated.

“The Easy Zip Pouch provides a tamper evident design with a clean opening tab that allows easy access to the product. The top isn’t torn off so you don’t get the shredding of the header that sometimes occurs in conventional pouches. You are left with a clean package, and the header remains in place for extra space for copy, says Sal Pellingra, innovation and marketing director.

“We can produce the tab in different sizes for easier opening by gloved operating room personnel, and for the elderly,” he adds.
