Corrugated giant Smurfit Kappa has announced that it is offering a more extensive range of its beverage pouch products called Pouch-Up

Smurfit Kappa said that Pouch-Up now comes in two shapes – one with a single gusset at the base and one with a gusset at the bottom and top.

New formats of 1L and 1.5L double gusset have been added to the existing range which now includes seven different formats – 1L, 1.5L, 1.75L and 3L single gusset, 1L, 1.5L and 1.75L double gussets.

In a statement, Smurfit Kappa said: “While there is little visual difference, the Double gusset Pouch-Up offers all the benefits of the single gusset – high performance film, convenience and a low carbon footprint. Smurfit Kappa supplies three different film structures – Triplex PET MET, Triplex EVOH, and Quadruplex Aluminium – according to customer needs.

“The entire surface can be printed, ensuring brands stand out on the shelf. The innovative film and the Vitop compact tap provide a high oxygen barrier, allowing the drink inside to stay fresher for longer. Pouch-Upmeets the growing needs of on-the-go consumption – light, unbreakable and easy to use.”
