“I am impressed by Lako’s continuous dedication to research and design for customer-specific applications. I presented Lako with the opportunity to help my company find a mechanical solution to an industry-wide problem — air retention in gusseted bags that are packed lying down in the case. They researched and designed four specific jaw serration patterns to test in the lab with different film structures, temperatures, sealing times and pressures to identify the optimal jaw set. Although this was not implemented due to a different business priority, it was a thorough feasibility study.”

LAKO TOOL offers seal solution for bag applications. With the growth of bag / pouch packaging there are variety of package styles. The quality parts allow the flexibility needed for package design. Whether using traditional pouch sealing or ultrasonic sealing, LAKO is the company to go to vertical form fill seal (VFFS) applications.
Flexible pouch packaging transforms into various sizes and shapes. Traditionally, vertical form fill seal processes are used to seal pouches. However, Ultrasonic sealing is another viable option and offers savings on material usage.
