A retort pouch is a sterilizable flexible bag that can withstand temperatures up.
to 250°F (120°C) for handing the product inside. The key to retort pouch production
is good and high quality lamination. Apply to high heat cooked food, gravy & sauce and etc.
Cost savings - no need for pre-blanching or pre-cooking, thus reducing manufacturing and processing time and costs, as well as energy and water use
Material Handling - Reduced package weight and size eliminates the need for bulky cans/bottles during processing and makes waste handling, transportation, storage, use and disposal easier. Bulk waste is reduced and cleanup and disposal requires a fraction of the space and processing time of traditional jars, glass bottles or semi-rigid thermoformed containers.
Convenience - Consumers find the bags easy to handle, store and dispose of, and the steaming bags are easy to open without piercing metal or requiring additional tools.
Safety - while heating liquids in cans creates dangerous pressure and opening cans can leave sharp edges, steaming bags are easy and safe to handle
Branding- Increase consumer visibility by expanding branding and labeling surface area and product display locations
Quality- Food can be cooked safely and evenly, and overcooking or uneven cooking of canned foods can be avoided.
Design Options- Steamer packs are available in a variety of sizes and configuration shapes, printable surfaces, and a variety of hanging or standing methods. Packages can be flat, oval, truncated conical, or virtually any shape imaginable and designed with the obvious limitations of canned or bottled foods.
