The technology originally spun out of Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble. But now AeroFlexx has the exclusive rights to commercialize it across all categories and geographies to all partners, including P&G direct competitors.
Perhaps its most unique feature is that it uses an air frame to bring tailored rigidity to a flexible film package. With ISTA-6 approved ISTA-6Amazon.com-Over Boxing (pwgo.to/5469），它提供通过电子商务频道免费送货。此外，它需要比传统的吹塑瓶更少50％。更不用说，因为它可以作为平坦的预制品袋或卷坯送到灌装设施，所以它有可能得分额外的可持续包装点，因为它大大减少了必须交付的空瓶的卡车数量。
A specially designed valve integrated into the package delivers spill-proof functionality with cleaner, more finely controlled, and convenient dispensing. Since there is no cap to be opened and closed, and because the package is spill-proof, product dispensing is one-handed. Plus there is no messy product residue build-up on the cap. Also part of this design is a vent that allows air back into the package after product is dispensed to allow continued use with no package deformation.

The first package to leverage the new technology was a 9-oz package of P&G’s Dawn Ultra dish soap. But since then Olay body wash, Mighty Mutt dog shampoo, and Defense soap have all come on board. Current customers are supported by an AeroFlexx pilot plant in Ohio, but the first automated commercial line is targeted for completion in Q4 of this year. It will have a nameplate capacity of 15 million units per year, says AeroFlexx.
“The technology has over 40 patents (granted and/or pending) across 10 countries, complemented by strong trade secret and know-how protection,” says the official FPA Awards entry form. “Purpose engineered and specially formulated flexible materials are folded, sealed, embossed, perforated, filled, inflated, and cut into desired shapes to form the package.”
The multilayer substrate from which the package is made includes a reverse-printed polyester laminated to a coextrusion. “Without naming the layers of the coextrusion,” says P&G Research Fellow Ken McGuire, a key developer behind the innovative concept, “I can tell you the properties it had to have. High on the list was barrier, since we want to maintain a two- or three-year shelf life. Moisture barrier was important, too, because we want to make sure consumers get the amount of product we say they’re getting. Puncture resistance, of course, was key, as was printability. And finally, we had to be able to make a laser perforation at the top that guarantees a hermetic seal yet tears conveniently in the hands of the consumer.”
