Technical terms explained simply

Opening aids facilitate the opening of packaging. ALLFO’s opening aids are specially designed for vacuum bags, so that even people with impaired motor skills may easily manage to open them. Side-seal bags in particular are available with various opening aids. “Easy Opening” is a feature provided by the VakTape, a tear tape where only a slight pull on the tear cut is sufficient to simply open the side seal bag along the tape. At the same time, the shape of the bag is retained and the product stays in place until it is removed. Stand-up pouches from ALLVO, on the other hand, are made of stiffer material allowing for targeted, straight tearing, which is additionally supported by a tear notch.
