Bakery closing line of the future features sustainable closures, automated bag closing machine
Kwik Lok Corp., Yakima, Wash., introduced what is said to be the “bakery closing line of the future.”
Eco-Lok is a bag closure made with sustainable materials. The new Eco-Lok product, used as a closure on consumer food products such as bakery items, is formulated with a proprietary plant-based biopolymer called NuPlastiQ, manufactured by BioLogiQ, Idaho Falls, Idaho, which requires up to 20% fewer greenhouse gas emissions to produce than standard plastic bag closures. Plus, Eco-Lok is printable, reusable and metal detector-compatible.
