Expanding the Home Compostable Flexible Packaging Market
Collaborating with TIPA, a global leader in home compostable packaging, the Fresh-Lock team launched a new line of home compostable closures for flexible pouches. These closures, including Style 8531, a child-resistant, press-to-close zipper, and Style 8035, a versatile, single lock zipper, are designed to biodegrade within 90-180 days under compost conditions.
Innovations in Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Closures for Flexible Packaging
In collaboration with Revolution, a leader in PCR resin, the Fresh-Lock team is helping advance circularity by encapsulating PCR into a new line of closures starting by updating two of their award winning closures Zipper Style 8813 and the track of Child-Guard® technology.
Groundbreaking Child-Guard® Innovations on the Horizon
Ten years ago, the Fresh-Lock team debuted the groundbreaking child-resistant technology of the Child-Guard® Track & Slider at PACK EXPO. Since then, this critical closure has helped bring tested safety and performance to flexible packages and has been featured on a WorldStar Award-winning flexible pouch. In addition to incorporating PCR into the track of this closure, the Fresh-Lock team is currently developing a new closure with Child-Guard® technology that will enable a wider pouch opening with enhanced child-resistant performance.
