ANTIGO, WI - Volm Companies, Inc. recently released a new packaging line for produce in an effort to provide versatility and clarity to consumer eyes, while also providing convenience and a prolonged shelf-life.
The company’s new Half-N-Half stand-up pouch incorporates an eco-friendly Ultratech® mesh panel, while also leaving room for a variety of presentable and functional features, including zippers and differing formats.
"We expanded our packaging portfolio last year to focus on pouches for fresh produce,” Micah Johnson, Flexible Packaging Product Manager, said in a press release. “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.”
With different film finishes such as high clarity, opaque, and matte, another focus from Volm was presentability to appeal to consumer eyes as well as sustainability for retailers.
“This pouch looks great on the shelf, extends shelf life of produce, and provides an optimized customer experience when purchasing and using the product,” Johnson continued.
The company also recently introduced its new Volmpack Kangaroo Bagger, a technological assistant that consciously keeps a small footprint while providing the opportunity for retailers to move away from labor-intensive manual bagging and packing. Specifically tailored towards pouch-style bags, Volm sees this as an automated yet affordable option.
“We have a long history of developing packaging solutions to improve the profitability and productivity of our customers,” Johnson said in the release. “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.”
The new Half-N-Half Pouch packaging and Kangaroo Bagger are already available to stores.
