  • Increased packaging efficiency and less waste - no need to ship and store ‘air’ (i.e., empty clamshells or cans which translates to less trucks on the road and less storage space needed). See Christopher Ranch testimonial)
  • Additional marketing real estate on the pouch with more volume in a smaller shelf footprint
  • Option of shapes and various material finishes to stand out on the shelf
  • Various reclosability and single serve options which appeal to the consumer

REDUCE PRODUCT LOSS

Automatic pouch packaging systems are multi-capable in their design. A consistent and popular feature is the ability to detect error in the flow of the system. As the machine is automatically dispensing product into the line of oncoming pouches, if it detects there is no bag below the filler or it is not properly open, no product will dispense.

In addition, the automatic pouch packaging machine will be set to dispense a very specific amount of product. This feature eliminates the possibility of over or under filling. Both of these features aim to reduce product and pouch loss, which is a key benefit of automatic pouch packaging for your natural product.

INCREASED SHELF LIFE

One of the most important factors in packaging, is ensuring a secure seal and proper environment for your good. Different products are sensitive to different environments. Quality and safety could be compromised by an improperly sealed bag or the improper environment in the bag. Automatic pouch packaging systems are fitted with seal detection devices that ensure the pouch is properly sealed every time.

One of the biggest selling points of natural products is that they most often are free of preservatives. One way you can ensure your product stays fresh and has a long shelf life, is to utilize Modified Atmosphere Packaging technologies with your pouch. Instead of injecting foods with chemicals, the oxygen inside the package is replaced with a protective gas mix that extends the shelf life of your product.
