## Technical & Procurement Q&A

### What barrier laminate structure does FlexPouchMFG™ recommend for Clear AlOx Siox Microwave Retort Pouches (PM-RT-755)?

For Clear AlOx Siox Microwave Retort Pouches (PM-RT-755), our engineering lab specifies 12µm Reverse-Printed PET / 9µm Annealed Pin-Hole-Free AL (or Clear AlOx-PET) / 15µm Bi-Oriented Polyamide BOPA / 80µm 135°C Retort RCPP (116µm 4-Ply) paired with Precision Laser-Scored Straight Tear Notch + Autoclave Steam-Resistant Corner Radius, achieving Inner Kinetic COF 0.21 · Solvent Residue <0.30 mg/m² · OTR ≤0.015 cc/m²·24h · WVTR ≤0.015 g/m²·24h under 100% solventless lamination.

### Can we order a low-MOQ digital run of Clear AlOx Siox Microwave Retort Pouches across multiple SKUs with $0 cylinder plate fees?

Yes. Our HP Indigo 25K digital press starts at 500 pouches (0.172 USD/pc) with $0 plate fees and multi-SKU artwork splitting. High-volume orders scale on 10-color Bobst rotogravure down to $0.076/pc.

### Which automatic filling machines are compatible with Clear AlOx Siox Microwave Retort Pouches (PM-RT-755)?

Specification PM-RT-755 is COF-calibrated and heat-seal profiled (185°C–205°C · 650 ms · 0.38 MPa (Post-Retort Peel ≥58 N/15mm · Burst ≥0.19 MPa)) for Toyo Jidoki / Rezpack Retort Fill-Seal Turrets + Stock / Lagarde / Hisaka Overpressure Steam-Water Spray Autoclaves (121°C–135°C, F0 = 8–25 min). Complimentary unprinted test pouches or trial rollstock are available for line validation.
