Pouch Design Capabilities
Your pouch can be
manufactured to include
specialty design features
that meet your unique
sterilization, manufacturing,
print, opening, and/or
storage requirements.
Chevron, Corner, or Double Corner Peel
Chevron peel designs evenly distribute peel forces along
the length of the pouch, resulting in better control when
aseptically presenting a product
Corner peels create an intuitive opening solution for flat-edged
products, particularly products in a tray or backer card, that
may be prone to seal creep when paired with a Chevron design
Pouch or Tube on a Roll
Perforated Pouch
Both of these options are cost effective solutions for customers
with automated or semi-automated manufacturing processes

Self Seal Pouch
Solution for at-home
diagnostics that require the
consumer or customer to
send their test kit/device
back to a specific location
(NOTE: Pouch length maximum
of 35 in/889 mm; pouches > to 20
in/508 mm in length are recommended
to use 1.75 in/44.5 mm wide tape)
Thumb Notch
Improves usability by creating
an intuitive guide to end
users to open a pouch at the
center, resulting in the most
effective and efficient aseptic
presentation of the product
Hang Hole or Hang Tab
Common feature for health
facilities that store devices
upright to prevent damage,
such as avoiding kinks in
catheters; hang tabs are
useful for heavier products
Tear Notch or Tear Slit
Typical add-on for almost all
weld-sealed pouches for ease
of opening without the need
to cut the pouch
(NOTE: thumb notches will appear
on both ends of a pouch unless a skip
cut operation is performed)
Pocket Pouch
Eliminates sterile barrier
challenges that may arise
when trying to package an
IFU or other labeling inside
of a pouch
Print
Tyvek, paper, film, and foil
substrates can all be printed
with up to 8 colors
(NOTE: Color and print methods vary per
manufacturing site, contact your Oliver
sales representative for more detail.)
