The most suitable closure for your bags

posted in: News 0

Which closure is the most suitable for your bags? According to your practical needs Comi Pak suggests three different models.

Bag closing machines manufactured by Comi Pak run the following materials:
– Plastic “twistband”;
– Aluminium“tamper-proof seal”;
– Plastic “clipband”.

Let’s analyse their characteristics in details:
– the “twistband” is a kind of tie consisting of a plastic coated wire reclosable at will. Its use guarantees freshness and preservation of food and allows the final consumer to take part of the content out of the package and easily reclose the bag after.
– the “tamper-proof seal” consists of an aluminium band, and still represents one of the most common ways to guarantee hermetic closure to bags containing liquids, such as “mozzarella” chees water. It ensures bags integrity against their tampering as well as content preservation until reaching the retail points. Expiration date can be promptly and easily embossed on the aluminium band.
– the “clipband” represents another of the most common ways to close bags as it gives the opportunity to print/emboss any information on the plastic band: from the expiration to the production date, to the batch number and the company logo. The plastic band compared to the aluminium band is reclosable.

The use of any of them guarantees appropriate closure of bags and their content preservation. Moreover, the cost for their procurement affects the final package cost only slightly.

Every market chooses one of these closures according to the use they need to make out of them: the European market requires the clipband type with the expirartion date printed on it, whereas the American market commonly uses the twistband type. The aluminium band is still the most common type of closure used in Italy.
