When Prestone<\/a>, a trusted leader in automotive fluids, set out to refresh its packaging to a flexible spouted pouch for its top-off pouch, the goal was clear: reduce environmental impact, improve cost efficiency and ensure product safety. The company saw an opportunity to evolve the packaging from a rigid bottle to a large-format spouted pouch – a lighter and more sustainable packaging solution that uses significantly less plastic.<\/p>\n\t

To make this vision a reality, Prestone needed more than a supplier. It needed partners with the expertise to deliver a high-performing closure system capable of safely containing automotive chemicals, ensuring child resistance and maintaining seal integrity. Equally important, the new design needed to meet customer demand for a more sustainable packaging option, one that strengthens the brand, reduces transportation impact and enhances the overall user experience.<\/p>\n

Pouch converter and flexible packaging manufacturer Zacros America<\/a> partnered with closure expert Hoffer Plastics to rise to the challenge. Together, they combined Zacros’ flexible pouch design expertise with Hoffer’s precision-engineered Trust-T-Lok\u2122 P22 spout to create a safe, efficient and sustainable packaging solution that brought Prestone’s vision to life.<\/p>\n

Learn how Hoffer’s Trust-T-Lok\u2122 P22 Spout with six-pitch design made all the difference for Prestone’s debut of large-format flexible spouted pouches.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet the Full Story\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
