“SmartSolve has really been our golden ticket to innovation. You’ve been that final piece we needed to truly differentiate ourselves. We’re in a very traditional market where people are resistant to change. So having the ability to say, ‘Actually, we’ve got an innovation here that not only catches people’s eyes but builds their confidence in our product range’—that’s priceless. It’s been great to have something like that in our corner.”

How SmartSolve X-Series Water-Soluble Pouch Stock Works

SmartSolve X-Series Pouch Stock combines FSC-certified wood pulp fibers with a heat-sealable PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) coating in varying thicknesses. The paper layer provides structural integrity and printability during manufacturing and use, while the heat-seal layer creates secure, hermetic seals on form-fill-seal equipment.

When the pouch contacts water, both layers disperse completely in under 30 seconds with minimal agitation. The wood pulp fibers and PVOH coating biodegrade naturally through microbial action, leaving zero microplastics behind. Unlike traditional plastic stand-up pouches that persist in landfills for centuries, X-Series pouches are safe for drains, wastewater systems, and composting.

SmartSolve X-Series is compatible with existing vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal (VFFS/HFFS) equipment, making the switch from plastic pouches seamless. The material accepts flexographic and digital printing with water-based inks, delivering professional stand up pouch printing quality while maintaining complete biodegradability.
