Convenience Opening Feature

Curwood's IntegraScore® convenience opening feature can be combined with press-to-close or a slider zipper in horizontal and vertical form/fill/seal (HFFS/VFFS) applications to give consumers easy opening and resealable features in one package. The IntegraScore feature is achieved by applying a continuous, controlled score to a multi-layered film. Curwood's proprietary system controls scoring to the proper layers, ensuring the barrier protection is not compromised, while providing the convenience of an easy-opening system. This controlled system even allows the feature to be applied to a forming web without compromising the barrier or strength needed during the F/F/S process. - Curwood Inc., P.O.
