"Our production qualification of MultiFlex Pouch with Robert's Packaging is a significant milestone," said Dawn Soucek, business innovation manager at Stora Enso Global Speciality Papers. "With MultiFlex Pouch, brand owners and packagers now have the option to choose a more sustainable, aluminium-free barrier paper for stand-up pouch applications, without compromising performance on their existing high-production Robert's Packaging form, fill and seal equipment investment."

"As both a machine supplier and contract packager, we are constantly looking for 'what's next.' Based on the popularity of the stand-up pouch, we know that our customers are continuing to search for new and different packaging material options," said Steve Koppe, general manager of Robert's Packaging. "This will continue to be the case as more and more companies and marketers explore the possibility of sustainable packaging solutions. This development between Robert's Packaging and Stora Enso represents a critical step in the movement toward more environmentally friendly flexible packaging solutions. Our unique C-series high-speed web handling system and pouch making capabilities complemented our ability to efficiently handle the characteristics of the Stora Enso MultiFlex Pouch barrier paper."

Stora Enso's new MultiFlex Pouch barrier paper is an FDA-approved, aluminum-free, pouch material that offers a viable, sustainable alternative to films and foil. MultiFlex Pouch is designed to effectively preserve food product freshness by building a strong barrier to moisture and oxygen, while sealing in natural aromas and flavors. As an aluminum-free packaging paper solution, MultiFlex Pouch allows for improved post-fill inspection and RFID compatibility.

With production speeds of up to 200 pouches per minute, the high-performance C-1500 series pouch machine from Robert's Packaging can produce stand-up, gusseted, flat, and three- or four-sided seal pouches with maximum dimensions of 12 inches wide by 15 inches high and a 5-inch wide bottom gusset, including integrated resealable and slider zipper attachments. Robert's C-series systems have run millions of pouches and have performed under actual daily production conditions since 1977 in Robert's co-packing operation, as well as at numerous loyal customer plants.
