The stomach gel Riopan is one of several products on the German market that provides relief from heartburn and similar stomach problems. The so-called Stick Pack, a very slim pouch through which the product can be taken very comfortably by the user without any aids, has become an indispensable part of the world’s consumer goods markets.
B+P Creality had originally developed this packaging in close cooperation with the various packaging suppliers. The special feature of this packaging development was – and still is – the reduction or elimination of the large, back fin of the longitudinal sealing seam, which limits the graphic and constructive design of conventional narrow tubular bags. By sealing in a narrow film strip, the fin can even be dispensed with completely, the surfaces can be used graphically more consistently and a smoothly functioning tear aid can be integrated. In addition, material savings of up to 30% can be achieved in comparison.
Stick packs are now used worldwide and across all market segments for a wide variety of viscous or powdery products – including yoghurt, dressings and delicatessen sauces as well as sugar or headache remedies.
