Reflecting the trend toward multi-functionality and food safety, Sealstrip Corp., Gilbertsville, PA, recently introduced a series of tapes that provide both barrier and FDA compliance. "In regard to sustainability, traditional reseal features add more weight to the package, require more energy to produce and affect line efficiency. With Sealstrip's tapes, very little weight is added, very little energy is used to apply the feature, and line speeds are unaffected," says Jo Anne Forman, director of product development.

Sealstrip features offer reclosable convenience to your package, but with a pressure sensitive tape which fully seals and reseals the packaging, locking in freshness while maintaining the flexible package’s barrier properties.

"It's not just about wrapping things in the least costly single layer structure anymore," said Heather Chandler, president, Sealstrip (Booth #C-3502). Barrier properties in today's packaging can help foods stay fresh for longer. Brands can also turn to packaging solutions that leave less air in a package after the buyer has enjoyed part of the snack, explained Chandler. Sealstrip produces Peel&Seal and FreshPak, pressure-sensitive tape closures similar to a zipper that run as part of a flexible bag when the package is formed.

Packages that work for consumers are packages that provide a lot of different things like easy to open, resealable, convenience, product containment, and preserves the food longer.

How can a tape improve your brand's bottom line? 65% of consumers want resealable features on packaging, according to a recent FPA survey. And they're willing to pay 14% more for it. How can you get the most out of that 14% premium while meeting your consumers' needs?
