Flat Pouches


Flat Pouches, also known as three-side seal pouches, are a cost-effective flexible packaging option. They are manufactured using the same engineered barrier films as other types of flexible packaging, but are smaller in capacity and hence utilize less material. Flat pouches sit virtually flat even when filled, making them a great choice when there is little concern for bending or breakage of the products. Common contents include seasonings, jerky, powdery mixes, and products intended to be consumed in a single use.

Have you ever noticed the rigid circular button-like object at the center of certain pouches and flexible bags? It’s called a one-way degassing valve, often used on fermented food and coffee packaging. Typically made out of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the degassing valve’s purpose is to periodically allow gas to exit out from the inside of the package when the internal pressure exceeds a certain (small) value. As the name implies, air cannot flow from the outside inwards (because it’s a “one way” valve), resulting in an airtight seal to keep the internal contents fresh. How does it work? When the internal pressure is below a threshold value, the valve is shut to maintain an airtight seal. If the pressure of the internal contents exceeds a certain amount, however, the valve opens to allow for excess pressure to bleed off. By design air cannot enter the package through the valves even if the outside pressure is slightly greater than that of the inside. When is it needed...

In the hyper-competitive landscape of retail food and beverage, challenges are ubiquitous for buyers and food manufacturers alike. For retail buyers, continually selecting new products that will consistently sell in the longer term requires both expedient yet accurate assessments. On the flip side, brand owners must stand out against the plethora of other companies that are actively pitching or already selling on store shelves. Coming up with the hottest new product is only the first step on the road to success for food entrepreneurs. Getting over the “hump” requires a mass distribution channel, which translates to getting picked up by major retailers such as Whole Foods. This is no trivial feat, and most brand owners are unaware of the patience required to win a contract. As every successful food entrepreneur knows, pitching your product to a big-box retailer often comes with a painfully long sales cycle that can last as much as 7-9 months from initial pitch to first shipment.
