LPF Flexible Packaging is helping Müller’s Mühle meet demand for high-quality food on the go in retortable, barrier stand up pouches.
The packaging is retorted up to 121degC and includes a 12-month barrier from water vapour and oxygen.
LPF is supplying the Gourmet brand of Rice, Balsamic Lentils and White Bean with pouches that have a silicon oxide coated polyester as a barrier layer instead of aluminium, which allows for microwave heating. It is said to offer ‘outstanding’ barrier properties for longer shelf life.
LPF’s technical team also developed cool grips on the pouches for ‘safe, easy’ handling from the microwave.
