FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What do you need to quote a pouch?

Product, fill size in grams or kilos, format, approximate dimensions, structure or barrier, number of colors and volume per order. If anything is missing, we help you define it.

Can you make the pouch in a recyclable structure?

Yes. We work with polyethylene mono-material (MOPE / PE) for projects that require recyclability; we review with you the barrier you give up and whether your product tolerates it.

Do retort pouches work for any product?

They work for products sterilized in an autoclave: stews, moles, sauces and wet pet food. The structure carries aluminum foil or ALOX, with RCPP as the sealant layer.

Do you provide a certificate of analysis?

Yes. Every lot ships with its COA: layers, microns and grammage. We check it against the approved spec sheet before delivery.
