  • Pouch with Laser-Treated Straw Piercing Zone
    Publication number: 20130077898
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved straw access to the interior of a pouch formed from a multi-ply laminate includes a laser-treated area that has improved characteristics for enabling a straw to pass through the multi-ply laminate to access the interior of the pouch. The laser treated area is more crystalline than adjacent areas of the multi-ply laminate that causes the multi-ply laminate to fracture. One such multi-ply laminate includes a sealant layer, a foil layer, and a PET layer.
