The flexible box represents major technological advances in both equipment and materials. The package is a flexible plastic bag that utilizes integral edge seals to provide a box-like appearance. The flexible box represents the first truly high-speed, large-size, vertical form/fill/seal, flat bottom flexible box in commercial production. The flexible box does not crush on the retail shelf; the combination of the plastic laminate and the unique side seals maintain package shape and provide excellent shelf face. Once the consumer takes the package home, the barrier laminate continues to provide product protection and reduce odors. |
