FAQs

Why choose foil laminate over a transparent PA/RCPP retort pouch?

Foil gives absolute zero transmission of oxygen, moisture and light — no other flexible packaging material matches it. For products with a very long required shelf life (12–24 months ambient), fat-containing foods prone to rancidity, or anything where light degradation is a concern, foil is the reliable choice. The trade-off is that consumers cannot see the product inside, and the pouch cannot enter a microwave. If product visibility matters for your retail format and shelf life is under 12 months, a transparent PA/RCPP pouch may be the better fit.

Can consumers reheat the food inside in a microwave?

No. The aluminium layer will cause arcing in a microwave and must never be used in one. This is a hard safety requirement, not a preference. Your label must carry an unambiguous 'do not microwave' warning. For reheating, the consumer should either boil the sealed pouch in water or transfer the contents to a microwave-safe bowl. If microwave convenience is a key part of your consumer proposition, the transparent PA/RCPP retort pouch is the correct structure to specify.

What temperature and dwell time is this pouch rated for?

The structure is designed for high-temperature autoclave sterilisation in the 121 °C range, which is the standard retort cycle for commercially shelf-stable low-acid foods. It is also boilable at 100 °C. If your process runs above 121 °C or requires a specific Fo value, send us the full retort profile — autoclave temperature, over-pressure, dwell time and cooling step — so we can confirm the sealant specification before you order.

What is the expected shelf life of product in this pouch?

The foil laminate itself imposes no finite shelf life barrier — the zero-OTR construction maintains conditions indefinitely from a packaging standpoint. Actual product shelf life depends on the retort process achieving the required Fo value and on the initial fill quality. Properly sterilised low-acid products in a foil retort pouch routinely achieve 2–5 year ambient shelf life. Your food technologist must validate the Fo value for your specific product, not the packaging manufacturer.

What documentation and test records ship with the order?

Every delivery carries a food-grade material declaration written against the exact structure supplied, plus our ISO 9001 certificate and the seal-integrity records for the run. Where the destination market or your buyer asks for migration testing, we arrange it at an accredited laboratory — including one you nominate — and issue the declaration before the goods ship. Tell us the market and the retort profile at enquiry stage so the right paperwork is completed alongside production rather than after it.

FAQs

How do I get a quotation?

Send the flat size in mm, the structure or simply what goes inside and how long it has to keep, the number of print colours or the artwork itself, and the quantity and destination port. We come back with a costed offer, a lead time and a recommended specification. If part of the brief is still open we will quote the options side by side.

What certifications do your products carry?

Our products carry the following certifications:

  • ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management System
  • FDA Compliant – For food-contact packaging

Send us your target dimensions and we will confirm feasibility and tooling cost (if any) within 24 hours.

Can you produce with custom printing and branding?

Yes. We offer in-house printing across multiple technologies:

  • Gravure printing: up to 10-color gravure, registration accuracy < 0.2mm
  • Flexographic printing: up to 6-color flexo
  • Digital printing: available for low-volume, multi-design runs

We accept artwork in Adobe Illustrator (.AI), PDF (vector), EPS, or CDR formats. Color matching to Pantone (PMS) codes is standard.

What are your standard production lead times?

Lead times after order confirmation and approved pre-production sample (PPS):

  • Standard products (no custom printing): 15–20 working days
  • Custom printed products: 20–25 working days
  • Large-volume orders (multiple containers): 25–35 working days

Free standard samples typically ship within 5–7 working days; pre-production samples within 5–10 working days after artwork sign-off.

How is quality control managed?

We operate a four-stage quality control protocol with full batch traceability:

  • Incoming: melt flow, density, and contamination testing on every resin batch
  • In-process: real-time gauge, registration, and seal integrity monitoring
  • Finished goods: tensile, elongation, dart impact, and heat seal testing per batch
  • Pre-shipment: AQL 1.5 sampling inspection with full compliance documentation

Production sites are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and BRC Global Standard for Packaging.
