The EasySnap product has gained rapid acceptance in Europe. It is the ultimate portion control solution for liquid food products ranging from olive oils, tomato sauce, Vinaigrettes and even honey. The EasySnap concept is also gaining popularity within the healthcare segment for beauty creams and shampoos.

The EasySnap mono-dose sachet is unique in the marketplace. Its innovative opening system ensures that over 95% of the product is extracted from the pack with only one hand. The EasySnap mono-dose sachet can replace existing flexible 3 or 4 side seal sachets and, even single dose tubes, tubs, pots and bottles from less than 2 ml to 20 ml. A machine that doses the liquid directly into the sachet is an integral part of the packaging system.

Easysnap products can be branded with high quality print and graphics. The team at Stratex also believe that the EasySnap system is ideal for the aged care segment, given the ease of opening the product compared to traditional materials.

Alternatively, if retaining all the polyethylene properties is preferred, but require a rapid degrading option that potentially could also be consumed by micro-organisms, we can offer the oxo-biodegradeable versions. Using the latest oxo-degradable technology, we can achieve a product that retains its normal functionality (barrier or sealable). However towards the end of its accepted shelf life (or when exposed to initiators in landfill), it will be susceptible to elements such as UV or heat. This will initiate the oxo-degradation process which will rapidly degrade the polymer.
