For challenging products
Products in the non-food segment challenge our ingenuity. Particularly in this domain, products often contain chemical substances that must be prevented from inadvertently escaping into the environment. As a specialist for high-barrier flexible packaging, we are therefore on a constant quest for the ideal solution.
Non-food products – whether wet or dry – are often hygroscopic, intensely odourous or aggressive. Products like cleaning agents, cement, laundry detergents or fertilizers call for stringent safety standards and must therefore be packaged in heavy-duty multiply laminates. Our pouches with aluminium barrier layers rank among the truly reliable packaging solutions for chemical products; apart from their mechanical durability, they are characterized by particularly high impermeability to oxygen and water vapour as well as by excellent opacity. Apart from the safety aspect, we also place great emphasis on enduser-friendliness. Stand-up pouches with handle cutouts as well as spout systems or convenient ziplock closures provide added convenience for the
user of the packaging and its content. Thanks to our decades of experience, ongoing research, and spirit of innovation, we can solve virtually any packaging problem encountered by our customers. In Kürze: ■ Packaging for cleaning, cosmetic, hygiene, construction, and agrochemical products. ■ Benchmark safety standards for the protection of chemical products. ■ Excellent user-friendliness and packaging convenience. ■ Broad spectrum of laminates (such as aluminium laminates, Easy-Peel composites). ■ Special laminate solutions for heavy-duty packaging. ■ Rollstock and prefabricated pouches.

Success is our driving force! Packaging is our passion. So we never rest and keep working on the further optimization of our products. According to the motto “as much as necessary, as perfect as possible” Every day, the specialists in our development department are at work to find new and better packaging solutions precisely tailored to the packaging content and consumer expectations. To assure that our solutions interact seamlessly with all processes to which they are exposed, we tailor them to the product and to the stress profile, for instance on the customer’s filling and/or pouch sealing line. We accompany each new packaging solution until it is integrated in our customers’ production environments and thoroughly test the usually complex composites on their machines. It is on the machine that application technology factors such as sliding properties or sealability are crucial.
Quality assurance Our laboratories regularly test new materials to determine their suitability for our composites and conversion products. Our test equipment: ■ Tensile testing units for determining interlayer adhesion and sliding properties. ■ O2D units for determining oxygen permeability. ■ Infrared spectrophotometer for identifying substances. ■ Microscopes for determining layer structures. ■ Gas chromatograph (GC) for determining residual solvent concentrations. ■ And much more.

“By fulfilling the highest hygiene-related requirements, I’m your best choice for liquid, pasty, or sterile contents. And once I’ve been opened, I’m easy to reseal again at any time.” Stand-up pouch with spout
“I am a retortable pouch. I offer excellent opacity for dry, wet, and aggressive products. Thanks to my starter notch, I am exceptionally easy to open.� Side-sealed bag
