Packaging Formats

TricorBraun Flex works closely with our customers to ensure the best looking and most functional packaging is available, and we are equipped to handle any of your packaging needs.

Air Release Systems

Large laminate pet food bags can be difficult to palletize. We provide several solutions and air release systems.

Features

TricorBraun Flex offers a number of packaging features and accessories that improve the overall appearance of your bag. We also have closures to add some simplicity for your customers.

Side Gusseted Bags

The side gussets expand when this package is filled with product – allowing for an ideal shape for filling, palletizing and retailing. Typically bags under 10lbs are marketed standing up, while bags over 10lbs are marketed laying flat.

Quad Seal/Four Corner Seal Bags

Similar to the Side Gusseted Bag and also known as four corner seal bag, it has seals at the four corners of the bag. This helps the filled bag hold its shape on the shelf. Also, with the absence of a back seal, you can enjoy uninterrupted front and back panels for greater full graphics.

Stand-Up Resealable Pouches

These bags are bottom gusseted and stand on their own. They offer a large Printing Billboard and many consumer friendly features such as Tear Notches, Press-to-Close (PTC) Zippers.

Block (Flat) Bottom Bags

The block bottom bag (also referred to as “flat bottom bag”) is the next evolution in packaging. Utilizing all of the best features of the stand-up pouch and quad seal bag, the block bottom bag is unique in that, it gives you 360 degrees of real estate for printing your company information, logo, feeding instructions, etc. Whether the bag is standing up or lying flat, the block bottom bag is designed to get your product noticed at every angle.

Palletization with Anti-Skid & Air Release Systems

Anti-Skid: Large laminate pet food bags can be difficult to palletize. We offer multiple grades of Anti-Skid (Hi-COF) Coatings and Low-Slip Materials that allow large pet food bags to be palletized.

Air Release Systems: Trapped air inside a bag can cause a pallet to become unstable after stacking. This can cause the pallet to tip over in transit resulting in lost product and revenue.

TricorBraun Flex Provides Several Solutions for Air Release Systems:

Micro-Perforations

A series of tiny holes strategically placed on the bag allows trapped air to escape the bag during the palletization process.

Degassing Valves

TricorBraun Flex has been producing the One-Way Valve more than 30 years. We have several types of valves from Hi-Flow Inner Valves to Outer Label/Wipe-On Valves. TricorBraun Flex also offers a Two-Way Valve that allows for trapped air to escape the bag but also allows for the air to return the bag. The valve has a filter paper covering the valve to provide protection against dust and infestation.

Available Features

Rounded Corners

Provides for a nice looking finished product and helps the sharp corners of other bags from cutting into adjacent bags.

Pinch Bottom Fold & Glue

As most large laminate pet food bags are marked with the bottom of the bag sitting out, this bag has the bottom of the bag folded and glued maximizing the amount of space the consumer sees while bags are sitting on the shelf.

Pinch Bottom Bags w/K-Seals and Tack Seals

These bags are most common in the large laminate pet food bags. The addition of the K-Seal provides additional strength at the bottom of the bag and the Tack Seals provide a nice looking finished product.

Press-To-Close Zippers

Provides for a nice looking finished product and helps the sharp corners of other bags from cutting into adjacent bags.

Sliders

TricorBraun Flex offers two Slide-Rite® Slider options; exposed and hooded. The exposed Slider is visible to the consumer making it easy to recognize and use. The hooded slider is hidden from plain site and looks like a traditional enclosed press-to-close zipper. The enclosure adds protection against the possibility of the slider being broken or torn off.

Hook-To-Hook Reclosure

EASY-LOCK by APLIX®. Hooks engage on multiple levels making it easy to open and reclose. Unlike other systems, precise alignment is not required for sealing and its resistance to particulates keeps freshness locked in!
