Advantages of flat bottom pouches

The three-side sealed aluminum film bag

It is a high-performance, multifunctional composite flexible packaging material. Through its unique aluminum foil composite structure and three-side heat sealing process, it provides an unparalleled protective barrier for products sensitive to moisture, oxygen, and light in the food, pharmaceutical, electronic, chemical and other industries.

Easy to open and reseal:

Easy to open and reseal by designing an easy-tear opening or using a self-sealing zipper (such as a three-side sealed zipper aluminum foil bag).

Hygiene and safety:

It meets the hygiene and safety requirements of food and drug packaging (food grade/pharmaceutical grade materials must be used), and can be sterilized by high-temperature retort (high-temperature retort bag) or irradiation.

Environmental protection potential:

Although the recycling of the aluminum layer is relatively complicated, compared with disposable rigid packaging, it uses less material and consumes less energy for transportation, and the overall carbon footprint may be lower. Parts of the structure could be explored for recycling or incineration (the aluminum layer needs to be taken into account).
