6 equipment. The PrimaPak costs less and weighs less than rigid containers, such as metal or plasc cans and jars. With six graphics panels, it also has more cube display area than stand-up pouches– JES More informaon: Clear Lam Packaging Customer Service: 847.439.8570, www.clear.com. Zipbox by T.H.E.M. T.H.E.M .Takes the Carton/Pouch Hybrid to New Applications T.H.E.M., has delivered its commercial applicaon of Zipbox , the hybrid carton pouch (with U.S. Sugar), and is now working on the next applicaon. The company believes its carton with a flexible film top would work very well with applicaons such as upscale pet treats, breakfast meals (including frozen) and any snacks currently in canisters and stand-up pouches. T.H.E.M. has also partnered with Hartness Internaonal to develop a Zipbox filling line that runs at 100+ boxes/minute. Also on display from T.H.E.M. was the “Chokoku Plast-Edge Stand” package, a flexible bag structure with an elevang rim around its base. Made on Sanko equipment, the package has been successful in Japan, and the manufacturer reports several companies, including a flexible packaging converter and “major” CPG prospects in the United States are considering the package. T.H.E.M., which has a long history of partnership with Sanko is also represenng the other firm in the United States. Among the latest Sanko machines, the FC-1000LP can fill sck pouches “of any viscosity” at up to 100 pouches/minute, and the Zero 1-V, can fill up to 600 pouches/minute with no air entrapment. – JES More informaon: Neil Kozarsky, president, T.H.E.M.; 856.452.3516, www.them.com.

P robably the fastest, most highly-automated packaging lines are those engineered for beverages. When food packagers look for ways to accelerate their operaons, oen the look to the drinks sector. Double-Sided Induction Seal Keeps Decanter Airtight & Leak-Free Double-sided Inducon Seal from Relco UK The new Tropicana pitcher on sale in U.S. stores demonstrates an important in-ducon-sealing innovaon, provided by Relco UK, a UK-based supplier of direct and cap-less inducon sealing equipment. The inducon foil seal membrane, a die-cut circular ring inserted in the closure, is supplied by Aptar, the exclusive North American licensee for Bapco Closures’ BAP® proprietary closure technology. The foil seal membrane is double-sided inducon sealed right aer the lid is ap-plied to the filled container. This essenally welds the lid and the top of the PET container to the membrane, and ensures a hermec seal for the product — which results in longer shelf life and prevents leaks. Consumers open the pitcher by liing the hinged HDPE lid and pulling a plasc pull-tab incorporated into the injecon molded lid. The lid is designed to not come off the pitcher, and consumers do not see the foil seal membrane during normal use. – BAG More informaon Mark Gill, director, Relco: +44 (0) 1923.699.581, mark.gill@relco.co.uk; www.relco.co.uk. Bapco Closures: www.bapcoclosures.com Injection Molding Introduced for Valves, Re-invented for Labeling Pano Cap Canada Limited exhibited two new injecon molding technologies.: A PP flip lid dispensing closure with a TPE valve was co-injecon molded virtually simultaneously in the same mold — a departure from the standard method of inserng valves aer the closures are injecon molded. Usually, silicone vales are slit, then inserted into the dispensing closure. The new technology uses an injecon molding grade of TPE, which allows the two parts to be injecon molded and welded together in the same mold and create the necessary slit in the valve. This technology is currently being used for a boled water product in Germany. Pano also introduced a new process for in-mold labeling of injecon molded plasc closures. In-mold labeling on closures eliminates many prinng limitaons and opens up doors to more aracve graphics and even photographic artwork on top of plasc closures. – BAG More informaon Kelly Goulding, key account manager, Pano Cap Canada: 905.875.2672; kgoulding@on.ca ; www.panocap.com. FullyEnclosed FilmPack — Printed, low-density polyethylene film from CEISA produced with Innopack Kisters shrink bundling equipment from KHS Shrink Film/Wrapper Combo Eliminates Bull’s Eyes Printed low-density polyethylene shrink film from CEISA and Innopack Kisters shrink bundling equip-ment from KHS produce full-wrap mulpacks without the side openings, or bulls eyes, seen on tradi-‐ onal shrink bundles. Already adopted by Danish brewer Carlsberg, the FullyEnclosed FilmPack elim-inates the need for corrugated trays and associated weight and expense. KHS says the absence of bulls-eyes enhances pack durability and prevents cans or boles from shiing during distribuon and handling. Opons include applying a handle to simplify carrying and film perforaon for ease of opening or condensaon prevenon. A retrofit equips any KHS shrink packer to produce the fully enclosed mulpack. — HEF More informaon David Haig, key account manager, CEISA: +44.78.41.58.98.92; d.haig@ceisa-packaging.com; www.ceisa-packaging.com Mahias Hahn, KHS: 262.787.1676; www.khs.com Pouches Gain Liquid Functionality BEVERAGE Features such as integrated die-cut handles and spouted fitments, make pouches designed to hold liquids more funconal.
