International Production and Processing Show this January 27th through 29th, at the Georgia World Conference Center in Atlanta.

January 12, 2015 – Carbondale, IL – Com-Pac International, Inc., a leader in the design and manufacture of reclosable packaging solutions, will be exhibiting at the International Production and Processing Show this January 27^th through 29^th, at the Georgia World Conference Center in Atlanta.  Visit us at Booth #B-6655 as our capable team will be available to answer questions and discuss the latest developments in the company’s extensive list of products and capabilities.

This year, Com-Pac will be demonstrating our new Fresh-Zip® Zipper-Tape being applied to package film on a Pacmac 9500 VFFS bagger.  Our patent-pending design provides twice the product-side opening force for products such as frozen poultry, fresh-cut vegetables, sugar and many other IQF products.

Com-Pac will also feature video demonstrations of our Integra® RTR-1000 Pre-Applied Zipper Application System.  This system applies zipper to packaging rollstock, creates a tamper-evident opening perforation, and rewinds the zippered film for use on VFFS and HFFS baggers.

An additional video demonstration will show Com-Pac’s Integra BP-I backpack zipper application system which mounts directly to your VFFS bagger and applies the zipper to your film web just before the film travels down the fill tube.

Com-Pac will be placing special focus on our Zip-Right^® brand of resealable zipper products suitable for use with almost every zipper application system for a wide range of bags and pouches.  Products to be displayed include:

• Stand-up Pouch Zippers – 10mm and 20mm ribbed and non-ribbed zippers for cost-effective, high-speed zipper application on all laminated substrates typically used to make stand-up pouches for pet treats, candy, dried-fruit, nuts, and jerky.
• Liquid, Air and Vacuum-tight Zippers – Super high integrity zipper for all barrier applications with extraordinary internal opening force, yet easy to open from the outside.
• Double Zippers – Consumer-friendly double lock design to enhance tactile feedback when closing with added assurance of positive closure.
• Horizontal and Vertical FFS Zippers – Economical single and double flanged for use on all HFFS and VFFS baggers designed to maintain maximum product freshness and easy clean-out of profile closure.
• String Zippers – Low cost zippers compatible with all in-line zipper application units offering easy-to-crush material for faster cycle speeds and improved side-seal appearance and performance.
• Biodegradable Zippers – Made with patented TDPA^® are 100% degradable within 12 – 24 months when disposed of in a landfill or soil in the presence of oxygen, heat and stress.  Complies with ASTM D6954-04.

While our competitors may offer their standard zipper profiles, Com-Pac specializes in custom-made zippers designed for your specific application using profile dies which are cut on our in-house wire EDM equipment and manufactured on our state-of-the-art profile extruders…..and all of our products are manufactured in the U.S.A.

Com-Pac resealable zippers can be manufactured in any PMS color desired and we offer a zipper spool recycling program to help reduce your environmental impact.
