Kimbo, Illy and Indesit – three Italian coffee brands – work together in partnership to launch Uno pods for coffee machines. The companies chose the Easy-Lock by Aplix system to equip their pods’ flexible bags. Thanks to this easy and intuitive closure, the consumer can preserve the coffee pods in their original bag. With this innovative packaging, Uno differs from Nepresso.

Easy-Lock by Aplix is an innovative polyethylene reclosable system intended for flexible packaging. Its original design comprises self-mating micro hooks, enabling consumers to easily seal their package without perfect alignment. Easy-Lock by Aplix is suitable for all ages and its resistance to particulates keeps freshness locked in, company officials say.

Since its launch, Easy-Lock by Aplix has been very successful in both Europe and the U.S. Thanks to its inspired design and technology, this intuitive closure offers opportunities in many additional markets such as cheese, coffee, frozen food, pet food, confectionary and detergents.
