ZIP-PAK will introduce the latest zipper products

At IPACK-IMA 2006, Zip-Pak will showcase the latest zipper technology and applications.

This will be the first time that Zip-Pak has introduced new technology after the recent acquisition of Supreme Plastic's re-sealable packaging division. The combination of Zip-Pak and Supreme Plastic complements the product, enabling Zip-Pak to offer narrower or wider zippers, broadening the range of resealable packaging solutions.

New technologies that Zip-Pak will showcase include the ZIP-PAK SLIDER for wrapping and packaging, Thermoform SLIDER for thermoformed products, and the innovative Pinch Grip zipper. ZIP-PAK SLIDER for wrapping packaging is the first zipper technology for wrapping and packaging products, Thermoform SLIDER for thermoforming products is used for thermoformed packaging products such as sliced ​​meat, and Zip-Pak's new Pinch Grip zipper Allows customers to open packages of potato chips and other salty snacks in a traditional way and then seal them to maximize product freshness.

In addition, ZIP-PAK RETORT enables consumers to store uneaten products in their original packaging by increasing the convenience of re-sealing of multi-person cooking bags. Zip-Pak's Powder-Proof zippers provide improved opening and closing of packages for powdered and granular products. Its unique 'evacuation port' technology provides a barrier zipper that keeps unfinished products such as flour, sugar and grains fresh and safe in their original packaging.

Robert Hogan, Zip-Pak. Director of International Sales and Marketing, said: “We are constantly exploring new ideas, researching innovative technologies, and ensuring that the packaging our customers provide is unique in the market and leads the way.”

Zip-Pak is a global leader in resealable packaging technology. It is headquartered in Manteno, Illinois and is an ITW subsidiary.
