WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR PACKAGERS AND DRINKS BRANDS?

Pouch packaging weighs a great deal less than rigid packaging types, such as cans or bottles, using less material to hold equivalent volumes of liquid. The primary benefit of this is lower shipping cost, thanks to reduced weight per unit and the ability to fit more units in the same space.

Pouches offer the ability to present the brand as environmentally responsible thanks to the reduced shipping weight.

WILL YOUR CODING SOLUTION WORK WITH POUCHES?

Currently, stand-up pouches may be made from flexible PVdC (polyvinylidene chloride) coated films, or EVOH (Ethylene vinyl alcohol), which is a cheaper solution.

As the market for pouches grow, ongoing improvements are expected to be made on the barrier film substrates. For example, at present carbonated beverages cannot be stored in pouches due to escaping gasses. Similarly, pouches cannot be used for certain products that are hot-filled, but with improvements in heat tolerance, this will no longer be a limitation.

A non-contact printer such as a Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) coder is the best solution for pouches, as it copes best with varying pack shapes and sizes whilst keeping up with your line speed.

If your company packages a wide range of products, you’d benefit from a coding solution that can code onto several different packaging materials without rubbing off during production or end use.

Using the correct ink also plays an important part here in ensuring coding does not rub off. Linx Black PE Ink 1130 for Linx CIJ printers is recommended in this instance as an all-round plastic adherent ink, meeting Swiss Ordinance 817.023.21 which also makes it suitable for food packaging applications.

An alternative non-contact coding solution is laser technology which is able to code onto most plastics. In applications where running costs are particularly important, lasers can reduce these
costs substantially as they use no consumables.

Reduced set up time can also help reduce downtime, particularly for users who need to switch between product runs at multiple times per day.
