Flat pouch

What is a flat pouch?

A flat pouch is a plastic pouch that is usually made of polypropylene or polyethylene. It has no base, so the packaging solution cannot stand erect. The sides and bottom are sealed lengthways.

The flat pouch is used in various areas, whether in the private or professional environment. The flat pouch is available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and strengths, but also in different materials. The flat pouches made of PP are tear-resistant and low weight, making them ideal for packing and storing products.

The flat pouch is particularly suitable for food products, as well as non-food products.

Depending on its contents, the flat pouch can be used open or can be sealed or welded at its opening once it has been filled with is contents – if the contents are liquid, for example.

PP and PE flat pouches: material properties and packaging options

Plastics such as PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) are first washed, after being sorted, in order to remove foreign matter. The material is then processed further. The film is designed to support recycling within suitable recycling streams, depending on the complete packaging structure and available infrastructure. If it so happens that the pouches can no longer be used, they are incinerated.

The material composition is designed to meet the applicable requirements for its intended use and disposal route. The appropriate disposal route depends on the material structure and the available waste management infrastructure.
