Avery Dennison’s Flexis Air

Avery Dennison has introduced the new Flexis Air for Coffee, a one-way valve specifically designed for coffee applications. The valve degasses packaged coffee, offers leak resistance, bonds securely and can be pre-applied to packaging materials. The valves can be applied using automatic label application systems at speeds significantly higher than injection moulded heat seal applied degassing valves. While bin degassing can take a week or longer to complete and risks exposing the coffee to oxygen, which robs it of its freshness, the use of the degassing valves allows coffee processors to improve throughput and help reduce expenses associated with inventory and bin outlays. The valves can be printed with logos and promotional messages. For more information, contact Flexis@averydennison.com
