Portion Paks
The unique packages are valved so offer easy opening; pouring; re-closing and are spill proof. Additionally, these are substantial cost savings to be made and being totally recyclable thus help the environment.
A short description of some of the items follows, and we invite you to contact us for greater detail.
The Redmond E-Z Open Pouch
The all-plastic Redmond E-Z Open™ pouch opens instantly when its flap is turned up. It represents a significant breakthrough in pouch design and turns using pouches from a messy annoyance to a neat little act.
- Cost including printing runs about one third to one half that of the foil based pouches depending on barrier requirements.
- Size range is virtually unlimited.
- E-Z Open™ pouches weigh in at about 50% that of foil based pouches.
- a truly unique feature of the E-Z Open™ pouches is that the contents flow rate may be accurately controlled even with very low viscosity liquid such as alcohol, solvents, witch hazel, soy sauce etc.
- The valving system can prevent leakage or spill after the pouch is opened.
- Partially used packages may be stored for subsequent use, under refrigeration if necessary.
- Flow controlled E-Z Open™ pouches are ideal for liquors and alcohol-based drinks for commercial, personal and consumer use, by eliminating the need for the very costly individual 50 ml bottles served on airline flights. They yield absolute inventory and drink size control for bar service and are made from PVDC (saran) coated polyester which is government approved for alcoholic beverages. Projected material cost will be under 1 cent for the 50 ml size.
- Use for non-food products such as laundry detergents to offer the homemaker cost savings and ease of use/storage/handling. Since the large plastic containers of detergent weigh in at over 8 oz. of plastic and 32 x 3 oz. E-Z Open™ pouches only require 2 to 3 oz. of plastic the environmental and cost benefits are major and shipping and handling costs plummet. Profits can rise and still allow price reduction and convenience to the consumer.
- Use for liquid medications requiring dose control - nothing could be simpler than having an E-Z Open™ pouch containing the dose (1 teaspoon, 10 mls., 1 tablespoon etc.) which may be directly squeezed and sucked into the mouth (ideal for small children).
E-Z Open™ pouches can be manufactured on Redmond developed vertical form-fill-seal pouch machines.
