Custom Retort-Ready 3 Side Seal Pouch For Hot-Fill Foods
A Hot-Fill 3 Side Seal Pouch for sauces, soups, and ready-to-eat meal kits. For pasteurization only, PET/PA/CPP is available; for retort, specify PET/PA/RCPP. As a Food-Safe 3 Side Seal Pouch, we validate seal strengths and conduct leak tests post-process.
Advantages & Features
1. Advantages
- Oil- and heat-resistant structures built for cooking steps.
- Lab support for burst, seal, and migration tests.
- Process guidance from pilot to line-scale.
2. Features
(1) Basic Info
- Industry: Food & Beverage
- Material: PET/PA/RCPP (retort); PET/PA/CPP (pasteurization only)
- Form: Flat 3-side-seal with tear notch
- Size: 11 × 15 cm (4.33 × 5.91 in)
- Functions: Leak-resistant, oxygen barrier, oil-resistant, retort/pasteurizable
(2) Basic Characteristics
Oriented PET gives print clarity and stiffness. Nylon boosts puncture resistance. RCPP seals remain strong at elevated temperatures and during cooling.
(3) Basic Functions (Use)
Fill → vacuum or hot-fill → retort at 121–135 °C or pasteurize per recipe → cool → leak check.
