ALKOflex

Seal & Peel – it is according to this principle that ALKOflex™, the Meyer Seals® one-piece sealing liner for induction sealing, works.

One of the key strengths of the ALKOflex™ product range is its high degree of user-friendliness, thanks to the smooth peel and ease of removal. Well-known brand owners of condiments, beverages, herbs, spices, and a variety of other products value the reliable protection afforded by this hermetic sealing liner. Both plastic and glass containers utilise ALKOflex™ peelable sealing solutions.

The ALKOflex™ seal consists of a combination of high density polyethylene (PE) foam, Aluminium foil and where required a protective barrier film with a matching sealing layer to suit the material properties of the container.

ALKOflex™ is available as pre-cut discs or in slit width tape.

ALKOflex™ products can be optimally used as a marketing tool. Options for printing with up to six colours allows the brand owner to create a customised design to match the brand image.

Differentiation/marketing

Induction sealing ensures a hermetic seal between the mouth of the container and the sealing liner, and reliably protects the contents against tampering and leaking. This provides an outstanding guarantee of authenticity protection and ensures consumer confidence.

Authenticity protection

The flavour and aroma of the filling contents is optimally preserved by preventing oxygen ingress with a layer of aluminium encapsulated into the ALKOflex™ liner. Products stay fresh for longer, extending shelf life and arriving to the consumers in perfect quality.

Freshness protection

ALKOflex™ can be punched with small tabs that retain the liner within the closure and facilitate the easy peel when removing it from the container land area. This ensures a straightforward opening process and makes the application comfortable and convenient for consumers.

ALKOflex tab

ALKOflex tab

ALKOflex™ tab is a new hermetic sealing liner developed by Meyer Seals® that offers the maximum in user-friendliness. It is equipped with a large grab tab that can be customised in terms of its size, colour, and shape, making it safe, simple, and convenient to use. 

What makes ALKOflex™ tab different from other induction liners is the large tab as it does not contain any aluminium. During the induction process, the high-frequency current is not deflected from the remaining circular aluminium structure of the sealing insert. Therefore, prevents the creation of "hot" and "cold" spots during the sealing process that can lead to negating the hermetic seal and allowing leakers.

Due to no aluminium in the tab, no heat is generated in the tab, so it cannot be secondarily adhered to the closures when it is opened and the large tab can be easily grasped directly.

The outstanding ergonomics of ALKOflex™ tab have been confirmed by extensive qualitative market research with end consumers across all age groups. Meyer Seals® ALKOflex™ tab is even easy for children to use, as well as individuals with limited hand mobility and the differentiated colour assists consumers with visual impairments.

The key benefits of ALKOflex™ tab at a glance:

  • Instantly identifiable large grab tab
  • Intuitive, simple, hygienic, and ergonomic to use
  • Safe tool-free opening
  • Smooth and easy removal without spillage
  • Branding and customisation options
