A mono-material PE build keeps the pack inside a kerbside stream instead of a mixed-laminate one, without giving up the seal.
It stands on a base gusset, which is what earns and keeps the facing on a shelf.
About this pack
What It Is for, and What It Has to Survive
Where This Pack Is Used
Spices and seasoning: small quantities, high aroma value, and a pack opened more often than almost anything else in a kitchen. Aroma leaves through the closure faster than through the film.
How It Is Built
The base is a folded gusset that opens under the weight of the fill, so the pack stands and faces forward on a shelf. Gusset depth is set from the fill weight and the bulk density together, because the same weight of an aerated product and a dense powder need different bases.
Built on a PET/AL/PE laminate, so an unbroken aluminium layer stops oxygen, light, moisture and odour outright rather than slowing them down. It buys the longest shelf life we can specify and gives up kerbside recyclability, which is a trade worth making deliberately.
Specified with post-consumer recycled film in the outer layers and a virgin sealant against the contents, because food-contact rules do not allow recycled material to touch the fill. The percentage is stated in the specification rather than left as a claim.
