What it does
Submit your product application, shelf life, and distribution conditions. The Flexible Pack Format Advisor compares FLOW_WRAP, STAND_UP pouch, SACHET, RETORT pouch, and METFLEX on barrier performance, cost per 1,000 units from live PackIndex indices, PPWR grade, MOQ, and shelf presence.
Example use case
A pet food brand needs a 12-month ambient pouch. FLOW_WRAP eliminated (OTR too high), SACHET eliminated (too small). METFLEX passes (good moisture barrier, Grade D, high shelf impact). STAND_UP passes at Grade D with resealable option. Recommendation: METFLEX as lowest cost meeting barrier spec.
