Zip-Pak, the global leader in resealable packaging innovations, has introduced the new ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ for large format bags.
This product is the first slider zipper that adds convenience to large format bags, yet requires no alteration to the package design or construction.
The new slider enables a resealable closure on laminate and multi-wall paper bags, which are popular choices for large format applications such as pet food, bird feed and potting soil.
Currently the only slider system available for woven pouches, the ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ for large format bags makes the addition of resealable closures an optimum choice for a variety of package styles and applications.
Chinese enterprises looking to compete in global markets via bulk consumer product exports will benefit from incorporating the ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™, as independent research has shown that an overwhelming number of consumers in western markets require slider technology, particularly on large format flexible packaging.
Key reasons for this preference are easy opening to access package contents, and secure closing to protect freshness.
Besides enhancing convenience and enabling freshness, the ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ for large format bags eliminates the need for consumers to transfer package contents into separate containers for proper storage.
Brand owners also benefit from packaging that stays in front of the consumer throughout use, maximising marketing impact.
This technology is available for packages of up to 55 pounds, providing the same consumer experience and seal integrity throughout each use, regardless of pouch size.
Zip-Pak Systems, the company’s equipment division, provides unique consulting capabilities to ensure that packages pass all fitness-for-use tests.
“As a major exporter of bulk consumer products, China has to continually elevate its packaging standards in order to meet the demand of overseas consumers for high-quality products,” says Robert Hogan, Director of International Sales and Marketing for Zip-Pak.
“Zip-Pak is able to tap into our global resources to help Chinese companies develop quality packaging that enhance their brand appeal internationally."
"Starting with the new ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™, we hope to help companies here increase product sales and create long-term brand distinction that adds value to their businesses.”
