Antigo, Wis. – Volm Companies, Inc. has long been an industry leader in providing quality packaging and equipment solutions to the fresh produce industry. Now, they’ve recently introduced a new line of packaging, the Half-N-Half Pouch. This new innovation in pouch packaging offers the convenience of a stand-up pouch along with added breathability by incorporating an eco-friendly Ultratech® mesh panel into the bag.
"We expanded our packaging portfolio last year to focus on pouches for fresh produce. At that time, we also began developing the Half-N-Half Pouch as a way to not only differentiate from other produce on the shelves with this one-of-a-kind look, but to add breathability for keeping the produce fresh longer," said Micah Johnson, Flexible Packaging Product Manager. “This pouch looks great on the shelf, extends shelf life of produce, and provides an optimized customer experience when purchasing and using the product.
The Half-N-Half Pouch can be created with many features from zippers for convenient opening and closing to different film finishes like high clarity, opaque or matte. This package is also available with different gusset and formats.
Volm also recently introduced the Volmpack Kangaroo Bagger. The Kangaroo is an easy to use, small footprint bagger that allows packers to move away from costly and labor-intensive manual packing to an affordable and automated process for filling pouch style bags.
“We have a long history of developing packaging solutions to improve the profitability and productivity of our customers. To be able to offer the Kangaroo bagger as a way to complement the Half-N-Half Pouch and our common pouch style bags is important as part of our Total Solutions approach,” added Johnson.
