Portability, pourability and reclosability

When seeking an enhanced flexible packaging solution, Giants Sunflower Seeds’ goals were to find the solution to fit with end-consumer usage behaviours and needs. So portability, pourability and reclosability became the driving considerations for this on-the-go, sharable snack.

The Zip-Pak Pour & Lok quickly emerged as the solution for the brand, supply chain and consumers. Following Giants’ conversion to pouches featuring Pour & Lok, the company experienced higher production capacity, improved processing speeds and less scrap and downtime. This boost in overall efficiency was an important factor in enabling Giants Sunflower Seeds to expand its line to 14 flavours, all of which now use the Pour & Lok closure.

Pour & Lok can be pre-applied using Inno-Lok equipment and can run on standard vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines with a simple side gusset modification. In addition to being a solution for products like nuts and seeds, Pour & Lok technology is also suitable for products like cereal, grains, candy and pet food or treats.
