SqueezyStraw and CIR Flex partner on low-cost, stand-up pouches

CIR Flexible Packaging and the Barton Group LLC are working together on the patented licensing of the SqueezyStraw Dispensing Pouch. The invention of Lew Barton, the SqueezyStraw Dispensing Pouch is a new technique for producing low-cost, stand-up pouches with a built-in dispensing feature, the company says. The easy-to-use pouch features a simple, embedded dispensing spout within the tapered dispensing corner of the pouch. The lightweight, portable pouch also is easy to produce on a non-die-cutting, standard horizontal thermo-forming fill/seal machine. Additionally, any size and shaped pouch can be produced as long as the equipment is rigged with the patented, customized tooling. This ultra-low-cost option for dispensing pouches is ideal for high-volume production of beverages and other liquid products. The built-in dispensing feature also eliminates the need for other accessories such as a straw or spoon. Other features include tamper evident; freeze and thaw options; microwavable in certain applications; and tear- and puncture-resistant. The flexible packaging dispensing pouch can help beverage-makers bring turnkey, cutting-edge and on-the-go products to the market.
