Zip Pak is the leading global presence for resealable flexible packaging solutions. Providing a variety of new and changing zipper packaging options, Zip Pak is always advancing toward packaging trends.

Of all the senses, smell is perhaps the most sensitive, and some would suggest the most powerful. From birth, olfactory receptors in the nose catalogue every scent that passes through the nasal passages. The average adult is able to process more than 10,000 different smells, with each distinct odorant possessing the ability to evoke an equally distinct memory. One brief exposure to a familiar aroma can trigger past memories and the emotions surrounding them, both positive and negative.
Recognizing this persuasive influence, resealable closure company Zip-Pak has effectively harnessed the “power of smell” with its recent introduction of Fragrance-Zip, a new zipper closure solution designed to emit a customized aroma upon initial and subsequent openings of a flexible package.

(Manteno, IL – August 2013) Resealable closure company Zip-Pak recently introduced Sensus, a high-performance sealing feature that provides both audial and tactile feedback to assure the consumer that their package has been firmly sealed. Sensus is the first in a family of resealable closures that Zip-Pak calls Sensory Feedback Fasteners; they feature performance characteristics that appeal to a consumer’s sense of sound, sight, smell or touch.

The Sensus re-closure profile is specifically designed to create a tactile bumping sensation and audible clicking noise when the zipper is opened or resealed. Made of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Sensus can be applied to virtually any type of flexible packaging regardless of pouch size, and is especially well suited for form-fill-seal machine applications.

Zip-Pak, the world leader in resealable machinery and materials, will exhibit at the International Poultry Show, January 29 – 31, 2013, Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA.  To learn how Zip-Pak resealable solutions can enhance your poultry brand, visit the company at booth #7277.

The new ZIP-PAK^® Vector™ resealable matrix from Zip-Pak, the global leader in materials and machinery for resealable packaging, brings a new level of consumer convenience to flexible packaging.  Featuring a proprietary self-sealing matrix that closes securely without exact alignment of opposing segments, the solution provides tactile and audible feedback for reassurance of complete fastening with each use.  The airtight seal also helps lock in product freshness.
As the only resealable closure supplier with an in-house equipment division – Zip-Pak Systems – the company developed the Vector™ resealable matrix for integration into existing flexible packaging lines with only minor modifications to machinery.  For brand managers, retailers, and converters, the system minimizes investments in capital equipment and downtime.  Zip-Pak also offers extensive consultation to consumer product goods companies and store brands transitioning into resealable flexible packaging or launching new products.

To alter the packaging landscape in the crowded sugar category, Plantation^® All Natural Raw Cane Sugar brand began packaging its product in the innovative Zipbox^® resealable carton last year.  Plantation is currently sold in Dash’s Market, a four-store retail chain in Upstate New York, and the new package has resulted in clear sales growth since the initial launch.
“Plantation is excited to be at the forefront of the new Zipbox packaging innovation, and our early success with the product in Dash’s Market is driving additional expansion opportunities in other grocery chains as we look downstream to possible club store activities,” said William McDaniel, President and CEO of U.S. Sugar Co., Inc., the manufacturer of the Plantation brand.
The team at Zipbox, a joint venture between Zip-Pak and T.H.E.M., has worked closely with Plantation throughout the launch to ensure the new package format maximizes convenience in the home.  Zipbox combines a poly-coated paperboard carton and an attached flexible film header containing a ZIP-PAK^® Press-to-Close™ solution.  As the product is meant for multiple uses, the resealable functionality and structural integrity allows consumers to easily open and close the package and stock it neatly.
“Brands are constantly seeking new ways to penetrate the clutter on the shelf. The initial success at Dash’s Market confirms that Zipbox catches their attention and leads to a purchase decision,” explains Frank Kelly, Business Manager for Zipbox.  “The package format’s benefits further extend to consumers by offering a recognizable closure function on a rigid carton, enhancing the convenience of their products with each use.”
As the Zipbox package format continues to gain traction as an innovative alternative to traditional rigid and flexible solutions, a major consumer product goods (CPG) company recently included Zipbox in Nielsen’s BASES II testing.  Nielsen, a leading global consumer research firm, conducts BASES II to assess new product potential and hone the consumer value proposition.  The testing consists of several criteria that included such aspects as Consumer Need/Desire, providing Consumer Advantage and Concept Credibility. Zipbox resealable carton scored positive responses to these and other test criteria, bolstering its potential as a viable package format for a variety of consumer products.
“Introducing a breakthrough packaging innovation like Zipbox requires expertise and partnership throughout the supply chain, from machinery and materials to package design and consumer insights,” explains Neil Kozarsky, President of T.H.E.M.  “The positive feedback from both Dash’s Market and Nielsen indicates we have overcome many of the initial challenges faced with a new product launch of this magnitude and will enable us to continue broad scale commercialization.”
