A leading Chilean packaging producer is reaping the rewards after introducing new technology to its bags.
Interpak SA claimed the switch from press to close zippers to slider zipper technology, created by manufacturers Zip-Pak, has paid dividends.
Andreas Baboun, general manager, said: “Zip-Pak’s Quick Zip Slider allowed us to meet local market needs and keep cost margins low while still maintaining the high quality of our bags. This combination of benefits was exactly what we needed.”
In the Chilean fresh produce market, fruit growers were demanding the switch to sliders on packs of grapes and cherries to meet consumers’ demands for convenience.
Bag producer Interpak met that demand by being the first to produce a locally produced cost-effective slider package, working in conjunction with Zip-Pak.
The two companies worked together to create a low-cost high quality mechanism to work with LDPE bags.
