Every packaging technologists challenge. What happens when my reclose gets covered in powder. Elplast has the solution with its range of single and multprofile zippers. They have been engineered to both repel powder and provide it with an escape route. The reclose can work around the powder contamination. Meaning that packs get closed and the product remains protected.

Adding elements of feel and sound provide the consumer with instinctive cues that they have successfully closed the pack. Coupled with the type of sensory satisfaction similar to that of playing with bubble wrap encourages the consumer to use the reclose. Reduction in the level of dexterity required widens the appeal to both children and a more senior demographic.

We all know that flexible packaging has the lowest carbon footprint compared to its’ rigid packaging counterparts. However consumers are often confused about the benefits. Eplast has several solutions to complete the picture. We now have EL-ZIP grades available in compostable and biodegradable.

Elplast zippers with activated peel seal (AP zippers) feature a leak proof peel seal next to the closure allowing creation of barrier packaging. Elplast AP zippers combined with perforation of the film provide for easy tear / reliable package opening. A popular use is front panel zippers used on pre-zippered film applications.

Adding a color can add a new dimension to brand awareness and reinforcement. It also draws the consumer’s attention to functional zippers that may be missed with standard clear polymers.
