For brand owners or contract packagers with high-volume requirements, a hf/f/s system from RDG was busy cranking out Push & Dose Sprinkle Pouches from rollstock at speeds to 50 pouches/min. At Alliedflex’s Booth SL5931, two different pouch-making systems were on display. ![]() The holes narrow back down to slits when the consumer stops squeezing, plus a pair of “wings” that overlap each other serve to close the pouch with the help of the spring tension of the pouch.

Inside the pouch is a food-grade silicone membrane heat sealed to the pouch material much like a roll-fed zipper reclosure feature is applied to a stand-up pouch. ![]() It lets users release sprinkles or spices or fish food or just about any other flake-type product by simply inverting the pouch and squeezing the top two corners toward the center. Push & Dose is a standup pouch with a perforated tear-off top that holds 1 to 3 oz of product depending on product density. As the distributor of HDG equipment in North America, Alliedflex is able to offer the Push & Dose concept in the North American market. Recently Fimtech and HDG, the German maker of horizontal form/fill/seal systems, struck a licensing agreement naming HDG as the exclusive maker of machinery designed to make Push & Dose pouches from rollstock.
