RetortPouch

Stand-up pouches in general, for food and pet food products, are increasingly popular because they're lightweight, can be stored and transported cost-efficiently and are easy to handle for end-consumers. High barrier laminates enable optimal product protection and long-lasting shelf life without loss of vitamins or flavour. The packed product is protected from oxygen, moisture and light.

In terms of convenience, stand-up pouches are true heroes: Single-serve Pouches avoid the frustration for end-consumers of retaining opened half-empty cans or glasses.

Retort pouches, however, are filled with moist or semi-moist foods, sealed and then heat-treated in steam/hot water retort kettles to achieve commercial sterilization (for shelf-stable foods). The shelf life of retort pouches in general is more than one year - even longer than with conventional stand-up pouches.

To guarantee attractive packaging we have developed the anti-staining pouch. Throughout the retort process, the laminate retains its attractive appearance and prevents grease stains and discolouring – even with white designs.
