The Cheer Pack pouch features an easy-flow straw with a reclosable, tamper-evident, screw-on top. The pouch is made from a multi-layer laminate material, with 3-4 layers in a standard configuration. An outer layer of glossy polyester is used to protect our high quality Rotogravure printing. The next layer is selected based on the barrier properties required. An additional layer of nylon is added to increase the strength properties of larger package formats. The internal or final layer is a polyethylene or polypropelene sealing layer.
