HPPL to install state-of-the-art 5 panel pouch making machine at its Rudrapur facility

 Mumbai, 11 July, 2017: Huhtamaki-PPL Ltd (HPPL) is installing a state-of-the-art 5 panel pouch making machine at its factory in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand.  This versatile equipment will produce 5 panel pouches, synonymously called box pouches, flat bottom pouches, 3D pouches etc.

5 Panel pouches provide excellent retail presence on account of increased surface area available for branding and communication.  Simultaneously, the design results in a compact pack, saving space on the supermarket shelves.  Unlike conventional form fill seal pouches, these pouches offer reclose ability using a zipper.

This pouch format uses less raw material for the same volume of packaging as compared to conventional packaging formats.

These pouches can be used for packaging of all dry products and in India they are particularly popular for packaging of rice in 5 kg and 10 kg pack sizes.

The addition of this 5 panel pouch format adds to HPPL’s already strong  pouch portfolio and will provide more options to choose from, for its customers.
