Poly-clip System is the world leader in sustainable clipping solutions and stands for excellence in clipping as well as maximum efficiency. The product and service system includes a large number of innovative solutions for clipping machines, packaging machines and automation thereof, as well as matching consumables such as the clip. Efficient packaging of pasty material in tube-shaped bags is coupled with cost savings and a high sustainability due to the flat roll stock film that leads to comparably low transportation and disposal volumes. All liquid, pasty and highly viscous products (sealants, adhesives, etc.) can be packed as clip-pak® via a pumping system and an automatic clipping machine. clip-pak® is a tubular bag packaging which is closed at both ends with a high-quality aluminium clip. Inexpensive flat roll stock film is formed into a ready-to-fill film tube, filled and securely closed with the double clipping process in the integrated clip unit – free of air. In addition, the product shelf life can frequently be extended considerably. For specific products it can even be doubled. Longer shelf lives lead to less dried-out products and less contaminated waste volumes.
