Mono-material PET vacuum pouch

The mono-material PET vacuum pouch is a PET/PET packaging solution for businesses that handle the requirements of vacuum packaging together with material selection criteria. In developing the product, both the performance of the pack and the material composition are essential. We select the version based on the contents, the sealing technology and the planned route of the finished pack.

PET-based structure

The designation PET/PET refers to the material family of the packaging material and makes it possible to design the material structure with a uniform approach. In addition to the mono-material nature, the performance of the finished pouch must also be checked: size, sealing and the protective properties required for the product all count together. The PET name alone does not replace the technical data of the specific version. We therefore recommend the appropriate version once we know the packaging task and the equipment you intend to use.

Vacuuming matched to the contents

During vacuum packaging, once the air is removed, the pouch follows the shape of the product. This can help handle portioned products in a sealed, orderly way, while the surface of the contents puts a direct load on the packaging material. Sharper parts, the thickness of the product and any moisture must already be considered when choosing the size. We leave a suitable free area for the seal so that the pouch can be sealed on the machine without creases. It is advisable to confirm the selection with a product sample trial.

Material selection and waste management

The mono-material PET pouch can be fitted into a conscious packaging programme if, in addition to the material composition, the route of collection and processing after use is also examined. Conclusions cannot automatically be drawn about the handling of a flexible pouch from the collection practice established for PET bottles. Environmental claims used on the packaging must be based on the data of the specific version. In this way, both the partner and the buyer can receive accurate, verifiable information about the material choice instead of general promises.

Pack sizes and brand presentation

It is worth matching the pouch size to the unit of use: in addition to the portion weight, the circumference and shape of the product also require space. If direct vacuum pressure would crush the contents, we can separately discuss the option of a modified atmosphere solution designed for the given product. The mono-material PET pouch can also be printed with your own logo and artwork. When designing the print, we take into account the shape of the filled pack, the position of important product information and the seal area together.

Please describe the product to be packed, the machine you use and your objective regarding material selection. We will adapt the size and version of the pouch to these and agree the necessary technical data for the specific use. In this way, introducing the mono-material PET vacuum pouch can be a well-considered decision regarding both packaging performance and material handling.
