Morinaga Confectionery
How Zip-Pak patented in-line zipper technology for vertical form/fill/seal (V/F/F/S) machines helped Morinaga Confectionery increase sales and enable up to 20% savings in material costs.
Flexible packaging challenge:
Morinaga Confectionery, a leader in the high quality processed food market, wanted an innovative way to boost sales with eye-catching shelf appeal and cater to Japanese consumers’ need for the convenience of resealable packaging.
Zip-Pak resealable flexible packaging slider solution:
Morinaga turned to supplier Tokyo Automatic Machinery (TAM) Works, Ltd. to add Zip-Pak’s unique press-to-close zipper technology to their TWEX vertical form/fill/seal (V/F/F/S) machines. The result… Morinaga satisfied its customers’ needs with a pillow pouch that’s easy to seal and includes attention-grabbing graphics.
Adapting Zip-Pak’s high quality press-to-close zippers to TAM’s TWEX machines instead of sourcing pre-made bags will yield up to 20% long term material costs savings for Morinaga.

"Zip-Pak was the only company in Japan who had patented in-line zipper technology for V/F/F/S machines. Other zipper companies only supplied zippers for pre-made pouches and didn’t have the technology that we wanted for the TWEX. With Zip-Pak’s expertise in developing world-class zipper applicator systems and high-quality zipper products, we were able to achieve our goal of developing TWEX quickly and smoothly."
