Johnsen & Jorgensen launches new pouch packaging range

Leading packaging specialist, Johnsen & Jorgensen has launched a new range of pouches which could revolutionise the way products are packaged, stored and transported.

Manufactured in 2−4 ply laminates and available in any size from 40g up to 5kg, the pouches are ideally suited for a wide range of packaging applications. From the food and drink sector, where they can contain hot and cold filled, dried and liquid products, to chemical and pharmaceutical markets and to the rapidly expanding horticultural sector and the packaging of seeds and composts, the pouches consistently demonstrate their versatility.

Design features of the pouch range include a thin inner layer of aluminium or nylon which can be used to provide high barrier properties for moisture sensitive materials such as powders and granules. Accessories can include a number of spouts. Re-sealable press-close zips and handles and stand-up or side-gusseted pouch options are also available. Gravure printing of the pouches in up to eight colours enables the highest picture quality to be reproduced, allowing clients to further customise their packaging design for maximum on-shelf impact.

However, as well as the aesthetic attractions of the new range, the pouches offer customers significant benefits in terms of warehouse storage and transportation. Flat-packed, they can be easily shipped in bulk quantities for a fraction of the cost of conventional packaging materials, helping companies to reduce their carbon footprint and overheads.

Johnsen and Jorgensens'' sales director, Jon Wear said;

“We are very excited about launching this new range of pouches into the UK market. From soups to seeds, pet food to pharmaceuticals, the pouches open up enormous opportunities across many diverse applications. This once again underlines our ability to consistently identify new market opportunities and develop distinctive packaging materials that will benefit existing and prospective customers.”
