Ampac launches Pull Tab beverage pouch innovation

16 October 2012


Flexible packaging specialist Ampac has launched the Pull Tab beverage pouch – an alternative beverage pouch format to the traditional straw punch-through type that is commonly used in the beverage market.

The Cincinnati, Ohio-based company says the Pull Tab system provides hygienic protection of the straw hole with a tear-away strip, which the consumer pulls away to reveal the hole into which the straw is inserted.

The Pull Tab beverage pouch can be processed on high speed filling lines, and used for either hot fill (aseptic) or cold fill.

Brand owners are able to utilise marketing opportunities created by individual printing on the Pull Tab label, while the system can be applied to pouches in custom shapes and sizes.

Ampac’s market manager for food, Millie Nuno, says: “The Pull Tab innovation is great for companies that want differentiation on the shelf and enhanced package functionality to provide a positive consumer experience.”

Ampac is a diversified global packaging company with 14 manufacturing centres in North America, Europe and Asia.
