Hybrid Poly/Paper Bag Delivers Strength, Shelf Appeal

Published: August 13, 2008

OMAHA, NE | Bemis Paper Packaging Div. introduces an innovative HybriCore poly/paper bag for the pet food, rice, and seed markets to combine both superior strength with high-impact shelf appeal. Comprising a durable print surface and a sturdy reinforcing layer, the unique multi-layer design of HybriCore features a distinctive pinch closure that allows current multi-wall customers to utilize existing filling and sealing equipment. The pinch closure reportedly ensures seal and barrier protection to help prevent infestation while the outer layer easily accommodates add-on features like handles, zippers, and sliders.

HybriCore is said to have up to six times greater drop strength, four times greater tear resistance of the print sheet, improved end-seal strength, and up to 300% greater puncture resistance of the print sheet.

The versatile hybrid bag features high quality printing for superior, scuff-resistant graphics to maintain a consistent shelf presentation. Custom billboard printing at the ends of the bag clearly communicate product information, says the company. Visit: www.bemispaper.com.
