On June 14, 2017, the International Flexible Packaging & Extrusion Division of TAPPI is hosting a half-day, in-depth technical workshop on Stand-Up Pouch Making. The workshop will be held on the day prior to the Global Pouch Forum, the world’s largest conference focused on pouch formats in flexible packaging. The workshop will take place from 1:00 – 5:30 p.m. at the InterContinental Miami in Miami, Fla., USA.  

 

A distinguished group of industry professionals will explore best practices and equipment technology that apply to making stand-up pouches (SUPs). These prominent instructors from the converting side of the industry will present on topics such as: 

• UP materials and structures and applications
• SUP supply chain and market trends
• Pouch material extrusion process
• The role of barrier in pouch making
• Pouch material surface preparation
• New pouch brand protection and security technology
• Pouch structure development for printing
• Creative texture and innovative visual effects for pouches
• Common problems and solutions in processing pouch packaging. 

 

Organizations in the flexible packaging industry can send both technical and R&D personnel, but the workshop is also highly appropriate for sales and marketing teams. Attending as a group means they can "buddy up" with technical colleagues and help advance their organization’s perspective, knowledge, and potential in stand-up pouch making and structures.
