Packaging Snapshot: Ampac recently introduced a commercial stand-up pouch with Select Harvest using the QuickZip closure with the Aplix fastener system. An alternative closure to the traditional press-to-close zipper, QuickZip uses a zipper closure method with hook-and-loop technology that is easy to open and reseal repeatedly. It requires minimal pressure to close, has rigid grips to facilitate opening, does not require precise alignment of the zipper and offers contaminant resistance. The closure is well-suited for dry product applications and readily seals through powders and fine particles.
