Ampac launches Select Harvest almond pouch with QuickZip/Aplix closure

Ampac has launched its first commercial stand-up pouch with Select Harvest, using a QuickZip closure and Aplix fastener.

QuickZip is an alternative closure to the press-to-close zipper using a hook and loop technology that is easy to open and reseal.

Millie Nuno, senior market manager for Food, Ampac, said the pouch was printed, laminated and converted at the firm’s Hanover Park manufacturing center of excellence in Illinois, US.

Select Harvest, a longtime producer of almonds chose to partner with Ampac on the debut launch of its California Almonds into the retail market.

Additional features of the QuickZip closure include contaminant resistance. The closure allows for numerous openings and closings and dry product applications and readily seals through powders and fine particles.
