    Keep Your Products Fresh for Longer

    Printed flat pouches help extend the shelf life of your products with barrier films. These laminations protect the integrity of food by preventing moisture and oxygen from entering the pouch.  

    Food spoils faster when oxygen interacts with food, affecting the flavor and color of many products like coffee, tea, cheese, and meat. Lowering the amount of oxygen that enters packaging can help maintain the quality of your products. 

    Choose your flat pouch material based on the level of protection you need for your products.
