  1. 0:00Switching from jars to pouches is an operations project.
  2. 0:05A jar carries load, barrier, tamper evidence and reclosure. A pouch needs each designed in: a load-bearing case, the right laminate, a seal and notch, a tested zipper.
  3. 0:17Compare landed packaging cost per filled unit, not piece price. Empty jars ship air; pouches ship flat. Then add case changes, sealing labor and reject scrap.
  4. 0:28On your line, keep the seal area clean, seal above the zipper, never across it, settle product so the gusset opens, code on film, record your settings.
  5. 0:39Pilot before printing: a dry, stable product in blank premade pouches, a few sizes and barriers, real fills, abuse tests and a jar control on the shelf.
  6. 0:50When the data holds, freeze the spec, then print.
  7. 0:55Send your conditions sheet and test results for a quote.
