Volpak, protagonist for 40 years

Packaging in pouches. A complete range of technological solutions, strategic choices achieved and international awards: this is how Volpak says goodbye to 2018 and prepares to celebrate the milestone of 40 years of activity in 2019.

2018 was a particularly important year for Volpak, a company of the Coesia group, characterized above all by the presentation of SC +, a high performance continuous motion machine, a real breakthrough in the pouch packaging sector.

At the same time, the order book for ENFLEX, Volpak's entry-level brand dedicated to medium-low speed, is growing.

Finally, there were many signs of the sector's appreciation of the new pouch, called STANDCAP Pouch, developed by the company, which received the "Dairy & Beverage Technology Excellence Award" during Pack Expo in Chicago.

Technology and market knowledge

Volpak is preparing to face the challenges of the future bolstered by its experience in the design, production and marketing of flexible packaging solutions. The Spanish company, which turns 40 in 2019, uses a knowhow unique to the world, which allows it to offer machines suitable for every flexible packaging need at low, medium and high speeds.

The solutions developed in Barcelona enable a wide range of formats and types of pouch to be covered, depending on the different production needs; they range from simple "flat" pouches to stand-up pouches with customizable closure systems, such as top or corner caps to suit the need.

An example of this high level of flexibility is SC +, the latest Horizontal Form Fill Seal machine born from the excellent collaboration between Volpak's R&D team and the engineers of Coesia Center Engineering (CEC). 
It is an innovative continuous movement technology which features top in terms of performance and flexibility, capable of catering for numerous product sectors: from dairy to confectionery, going by way of pet food and chemicals etc...

SC+ aims to cover the needs of the high-end market, but the Spanish company's portfolio is extensive enough to meet any type of demand. The ENFLEX range, a brand dedicated to medium-low speeds, has for example been devised for those who express production needs based on smaller volumes, but who do not want to renege on features such as strength and reliability. In 2018 Enflex has been reconfirmed as a fundamental asset for Volpak, seeing its order portfolio increase considerably.
 
STANDCAP: just one pouch, many solutions
Acknowledgements in 2018 did not only come from the market. During the Pack Expo exhibition, the interest in the solutions designed by Volpak was confirmed, the STANDCAP pouch winning the Technology Excellence Award in the "Beverage and Dairy" category.
STANDCAP, one of the most iconic forms of packaging made by Volpak's machines, presents a series of advantages for the end user, including extreme ergonomics and an "anti-waste" product closing system, while at the same time being functional in ensuring the perfect stability of the packaging.

With the ample possibility to customize the appearance and the quality of the promotional message, it comes with all the traditional characteristics of the pouch, that enable a prolonged shelf life and great practicality of use. Qualities that make it an ideal solution for the dairy sector, with further applications in various liquid food sectors (and more besides), regardless of the product density.
STANDCAP is already widely appreciated on the US market, which has always been important in terms of sales volumes and forerunner in the use of innovative solutions, with brands that use it to make jams, ketchups, yoghurts and personal care products such as gels and creams. The award received by the STANDCAP Pouch in Chicago goes to join the five other awards gained internationally.
