Why Walter Solutions

Canadian-based project management

Your project is managed from British Columbia, Canada: structure review, sampling, testing and production follow-up with one accountable point of contact.

U.S.-patented high-barrier film technology

The high-barrier film behind our PE/PE structures is covered by U.S. Patent No. US 12,097,686 B1, held by our manufacturing partner.

See the patent

OTR/WVTR and food-contact documentation available

Barrier test data (OTR, WVTR) and food-contact documentation are shared per project on request, matched to your structure and test conditions.

Technical resources

Sampling, filling-line trials and production support

From prototypes and filling-line trials on your equipment to commercial production and QC.

How conversion works

Structure, made clearer

PE/PE and PP/PP high-barrier structure comparison
PE/PE

Our main option. PE-based, high-barrier structures designed for recycling, suited to most dry food, pet food and snack applications.

PP/PP Premium

A premium option for demanding conditions. PP-based, high-barrier structures keep their barrier performance stable under high temperature and humidity. Higher cost, recommended for high-end products or applications where heat and humidity performance matters.

How the transition works

01
Package Review

Analyze the existing bag, product, shelf life and filling conditions

02
Structure Recommendation

Recommend suitable PE-based structure, barrier and format

03
Testing & Samples

Prototypes; OTR, WVTR, seal and transport testing

04
Filling-Line Trial

Validate speed and seal on customer equipment

05
Shelf-Life Validation

Customer validates actual product shelf life

06
Commercial Production

Artwork, print, production and QC

Built for demanding categories

Mono-material PE stand-up pouches for freeze-dried salmon, chicken jerky, collagen rolls and bully sticks

Pet Food & Treats is a featured industry.

Recyclability notice

Recycling acceptance and collection methods vary by province, municipality and recycling program. A package described as “designed for recycling” has been developed with material compatibility in mind but may not be accepted in every local collection system.
