| The new bag, which is the only one of its kind in Europe, offers a number of benefits, from how easy it is to implement on the production line to how practical and simple it is for users to open.
The bag's first unique characteristic is an added flat bottom, which ensures that the bag takes its shape instantly and makes it possible to optimise filling rates and significantly reduce waste on the packaging line. The second benefit is a lateral gusset that is carefully cut, providing complete waterproofing and conservation over time thanks to the inert gas used in the packaging process. This same cut on the gusset also means that users can open the bag simply and easily.
Finally, the new bag provides unparalleled visibility and legibility of the brand name, as well as allowing companies to offer products that always arrive completely fresh.
This new bag was launched by Energal, owner of the brand “Equilibre et Instinct” in June 2007. The “Equilibre et Instinct” brand products are sold online at : www.equilibre-et-instinct.com
