Zip-Pak

Manteno, IL - (August 22, 2006) – Visitors to PACK EXPO International 2006 can
view Zip-Pak’s latest advancements in resealable technology and innovative applications
at booth #S-1214.
At this year’s show, Zip-Pak will introduce a brand new packaging format featuring ZIPPAK
® Slider™ technology built into the “fin” of the package, creating a wider opening
for more convenient access to consumer products like trays of cookies and wet wipes. A
Hayssen Packaging Technologies RT2000 high-speed horizontal form/fill/seal system
will be running live in Zip-Pak’s booth to demonstrate the development of this innovative
pouch format.
Zip-Pak will also highlight its new capabilities for large format, gusseted pre-made
pouches that include ZIP-PAK® Slider™ for added convenience. Totani Corporation’s
CT-60HVLLLSC high-speed stand-up pouch making machine will be demonstrating this
new format at Zip-Pak’s booth. Applications for this pouch format include pet food,
cereals and personal care products.

In collaboration with Propac, Zip-Pak is featuring a new resealable packaging format for
low density polyethylene (LDPE) film. This package enables club stores and brands
packaging multi-serving portions of frozen foods to provide the value-added benefits of
resealable technology. A reclosable pouch enables consumers to store unused products in
the original packaging, keeping the brand name in front of the consumer for a longer
period of time. Propac’s AV-90D will be running in the Zip-Pak booth.
Further demonstrations of Zip-Pak technology will also be made on many other machines
being featured at the show. Visit booth #S-1214 to pick up a Guide to Resealable
Packaging Solutions to learn more about new technologies, applications and services
offered by Zip-Pak.
“We are continually developing innovative ideas for technologies that help increase
brand preference, convenience and product quality,” said Robert E. Hogan, director of
international sales and marketing at Zip-Pak. “Further, our strong relationships with
OEM partners truly enable us to focus on delivering complete packaging systems that
benefit end users around the world.”
