Gualapack Ukraine is proud to announce the expansion of its product line with the introduction of new packaging formats: the Flat Bottom and Side Gusset Bag. This strategic move aims to address market demands and boost packaging efficiency for producers in various sectors, particularly in food and drink packaging.
The new offerings from Gualapack Ukraine are tailor-made for products requiring vertical stability and optimal shape, even with minimal filling. Their robust design allows them to stand on their own without additional support, ensuring effective use of space during transportation and storage.
Each packaging format possesses distinct advantages that cater to specific product needs:
- The Flat Bottom pouch consists of five surfaces that form a single structure. Its unique feature lies in its ability to stand upright even when containing minimal or lightweight contents.
On the other hand, the Side Gusset Bag includes side gussets that adapt to varying filling levels, delivering stability through the contents within. This design ensures efficient volume utilization.
Flat-bottom pouches are commonly employed in industries such as pet food, coffee, superfoods, and sports nutrition. Moreover, these packaging formats are frequently leveraged for group packaging in the confectionery sector and beyond.
Utilizing advanced technology, Gualapack Ukraine has addressed common concerns found in traditional packaging, such as product entrapment in inner flexures. Both the Flat Bottom and Side Gusset pouches are produced using patented technologies, providing a distinct market advantage. Their innovative design prevents product retention, as the pouches are formed without the internal flexure often seen in conventional packaging.
Another challenge manufacturers often encounter during the filling process is the inadvertent sealing of zip closures due to transportation movement or temperature changes. We have effectively tackled this issue with our innovative closure formats:
• “Pocket Zip” remains securely closed during filling while allowing smooth operations, as it is secured on only one side.
• “Aplix Zip,” featuring a wide sealing surface, prevents small particles from becoming trapped. Even if the product enters the closure zone, the zipper still maintains a snug fit.
Gualapack’s solutions empower manufacturers to avoid production interruptions and ensure maximum convenience throughout the filling process.
To further enhance user experience, the packaging can be equipped with features such as:
- Zip-lock options (Standard zip, Pocket zip, Aplix zip) to maintain product freshness.
- Laser scoring or laser perforation for effortless opening.
- Euro slots for optimal display on retail floors and handles for easy carrying.
In contrast to conventional pouches, which often tear at the junction of multiple panels, our advanced manufacturing technique reinforces this critical joint—resulting in stronger, more durable packaging with a sleek, streamlined design.
Additionally, both pouch formats are available in mono-material versions, significantly enhancing recyclability and assisting brands in adhering to EU sustainability targets. This launch underscores Gualapack Ukraine’s commitment to intelligent, forward-thinking food and drink sustainable packaging, designed for performance and a sustainable future.
