What's Next?

During the year we get many visitors to our new facility in Sarasota, Florida, and this increases substantially in the winter months.

After a tour following the pouch machinery presentations, the inevitable question arises, “What’s Next in Pouching”?

We think Nanotechnology is going to have a dramatic effect on film structures. And it is a likely candidate to replace foil in many pouches. The benefits of these all-plastic structures help with reduced cost and favorable sustainability goals.

Another benefit is our 2013 introduction of NFC (Near Field Communication) chip for packaging and the ability to deliver data to the consumer who bought the pouch. Data includes Best By Date; a Guarantee that it is not a counterfeit product; instant coupons; other market and product information throughout the pouch life. Recalls of bad product will be easily handled by pouches with a NFC chip.

More pouches with spouts, several new double and treble compartment pouches for consumers to use.

Our new horizontal BagPaQ™ pouch and handle with a HandiTap™ applied just before use for the beverage and house chemical industries has drawn huge attention and the second quarter launch will be interesting.

Coming is a new range of Dip-N-Rinz™ Spittoon pouches with several consumer benefits for tobacco chewers, hospital patients with coughs and even a twin compartment pouch for use when walking the dog every day.

Healthcare needs will be addressed by offering a handy SoaPaQ™ pocket pouch with an internal unit dose system for dispensing antibacterial soaps and creams outside the bathroom.

Many of our visitors are amazed at the elegance of the new KoolPaQ™ round pouch and it's ability to remain erect until the last drop is used. For sure we have an industry winner on our hands.

We trust when our visitors leave they are awed by our new pouches and we hope feel comfortable that they made the right choice to partner with PPiTech Group.
