Uflex Ltd, the flexible packaging materials and solution company, has supplied a packaging solution for tortilla chips to Whole Foods Market, the US-based grocery store that provides natural and organic foods.

Some four months ago, Whole Foods Market (WFM) approached Uflex for developing packaging solution for its tortilla chips. The existing packs – multi-layer Kraft paper institutional bags with a BOPP sealant layer - were not providing enough barrier to tortilla chips from oxygen and moisture. As a result, chips in those institutional packs were turning soggy and rancid in barely three weeks.

Added disadvantages of paper being torn in the supply
