Retort Pouch

Thin and lightweight pouches for ready meals to be heated in the microwave and are suitable for sterilisation.

The packaging of products like ready meals, sauces, soups, olives, chestnuts, and beets requires the ability to undergo sterilisation in pressurised tanks at temperatures of up to 131°C before being packaged. Retort flexible films and pre-made pouches emerge as the ideal packaging solutions for this product category.

In contrast to cans, they reduce retort time and offer convenience in terms of portability and usability. Our retort films and pouches can be crafted with two to four layers with recyclable options upon request.
