Retort Pouch

The Retort Pouch is a flexible, semi-rigid, and leak-proof packaging solution made of heat-resistant laminated plastic, capable of withstanding up to 250°C. This allows the sterile packaging of a wide variety of food products such as soups, sauces, and cook-in-a-bag meals, making it suitable for processed, pre-packaged, and convenient food products.

Properties 

• Made of 4 layers, is FDA approved and has undergone a sterilisation process to increase the durability of the packaging
• Propylene is the first layer that functions as a heat seal surface and provides strength and flexibility
• Nylon is the second layer that offers resistance to abrasion
• Aluminium Foil is the third layer that acts as a protective layer to prevent the passing of light, gas, odours, and microorganisms. This layer can also extend the shelf life of the product, and its stiffness allows the “tear notch” feature to be incorporated
• Polyester is the last layer to provide high-temperature resistance, strength, and ability to print graphics

Benefits 

• Reduce heat exposure due to the several layers which make up the retort pouch.
• The layers also help preserve and improve the colour, taste, aroma, and shape of the food and minimise loss of nutrition.
• Provides easier distribution and lesser storage space. Not only is the pouch flexible in nature, but it is also capable of standing upright, which maintains the composition of food and takes up minimal space on the shelf. This allows the ease of distribution as more products can be transported in one go, saving transportation costs
• “Tear notch” feature enables consumers to open the package easily and eliminates the risk of injuries caused by openers used to open the package
