APLIX Announces New Re-closable System for Flexible Packaging
Applications include cheese, pet food, dried fruit, lawn & garden, frozen food, sliced meat and consumer products
5/10/2011 --- APLIX announced that it will feature a new re-closable system for flexible packaging at INTERPACK 2011 in Düsseldorf (Germany) from May 12-18, 2011 at booth number 72A03 (Hall 07). Easy-Lock by APLIX is currently being used in cheese, dried fruit, pet food and other applications.
Easy-Lock by APLIX is comprised of self-mating micro-hooks. The key advantages over other zip-closure designs are:
* Ease of use – less pressure to open/close as precise alignment is not required; enabling use by people with limited dexterity.
* Closure track is far more resistant to particles from the contents of the package.
Easy-Lock by APLIX is made of food grade polyethylene. A consumer study conducted by Leatherhead Food Research in the UK found that 80 per cent of respondents felt Easy-Lock by APLIX was the easiest type of packaging for the whole family, including children and elderly people.
