Zip-pack formats extended

Zip-Pak has announced that UVA Packaging has launched a vertical form/fill/seal technology that applies slider zippers to corner-sealed and block bottom bags. The Newton 400 is capable of producing over six different types of flexible packages. The technology is suitable for pet food, powdered products and frozen food packages ranging from two to seven kilograms.

The Newton 400 uses Zip-Pak TD Slider technology with zippers applied across the top, 'short' side of a package in the transverse, or cross-web, direction. This Zip-Pak technology makes it possible to incorporate slider zippers on stand-up packaging.

The Newton 400 features high-quality, modular construction for maximum production flexibility. Operators can easily switch between corner-sealed, block bottom, bottom seal, pillow, air deflation and bag-in-bag packaging formats without the use of tools.

The Newton 400 also features stainless steel construction and quality components throughout. A user-friendly computerised interface and built-in modem allow for high efficiency and streamlined troubleshooting.
