What You’ll See at Booth SL-3947

Coffee Packaging 

NEXTPAK™ Sustainable Coffee Packaging: Our high-barrier, all-polyethylene gusseted coffee bag is recycle-ready and certified through the NexTrex® Recycling Program, giving coffee brands strong barrier protection without compromising sustainability goals.

Ultrasonic Valves: Solve common headaches that are common with traditional valve seals with our ultrasonic valves. It enables faster sealing speeds, improving machine efficiency and valve appearance on mono-material, recycle-ready structures. 

G14 Rapid and Flexible Changeover Machine: See our advanced G14 in action with our recycle-ready NEXTPAK material. This fully automatic vertical, form, fill, and seal (VFFS) machine with finishing conveyor is engineered for high-output coffee packaging applications, designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining consistent quality.

Liquid Packaging 

Retort Pouches: Our lineup of #10 pouches, flat pouches, and stand-up pouches hold up under high-temperature processing without sacrificing shelf appeal. The #10 pouch is produced using our FSU800RTC continuous motion VFFS machine for dependable, high-volume output.

Aseptic Bags and Pouches: From coffee extract bags to flat pouches for cheese sauce, these solutions keep low-acid liquid products safe and shelf-stable. Fflat aseptic pouches are made on our FSU1000A system under sterile conditions.

Solutions Across Industries

Powder Bag: Our patented design offers near-zero moisture and oxygen transmission and is built to protect high-value powders. It’s compatible with standard open-mouth fillers so you can just fill, heat-seal, and let the integrated degassing valve do the rest.

Industrial Bag: Our multi-layer, high-barrier laminate is built for chemicals, agriculture chemicals, resins, and food or feed ingredients, making costly-to-produce materials easier and more affordable to ship and store.

EZHANDLE™ Pouch: Our recloseable, retail-ready alternative to rigid buckets. Its strong, ergonomic handle and flat-fold design cut storage and shipping costs for powders, granules, and dry goods across food, chemical, agricultural, and specialty markets.

High-Barrier Rollstock: Our versatile laminated rollstock is designed for a wide range of products from coffee to tomatoes, and is a go-to material for forming stick packs for powdered beverages and electrolyte mixes.

FSU50 & FSU101 Hermetic Bag Sealers: Discover our portable sealing solutions for food and feed ingredients, pet food, and specialty chemical applications. Available in semi-automatic (FSU50) and fully-automatic (FSU101) configurations to match your line speed.
