Meet the highest demands on cleanliness: flexible packaging concepts from Lohne

In recent years the stand-up pouch with spout has developed into a packaging concept that now increasingly replaces cardboard, glass or tin packaging. A trend that will continue, according to recent studies. For customers in the foodstuffs and cosmetics industries, as well as the pharmaceuticals industry and medical technology, Pöppelmann FAMAC® develops and manufactures flexible packaging concepts, which meet even the highest cleanliness demands.

A wide range of products can be safely packaged in the stand-up pouch, airtight and resealable – starting at baby food with swallow-proof closure, up to disinfectants for the pharmaceuticals industry. Here, innovative, consumer-friendly packaging with the most suitable welded spout, play an important role. Many products that fill the flexible pouches need to be packaged in an inert atmosphere. During spout production, therefore, the highest cleanliness and hygiene demands are adhered to guarantee the customer continuous process reliability. The certified quality management system offers security in all its aspects.
