Temperature or altitude causes change in pressure that can result in packaging to leak or become distorted. Some products out-gas or consume airspace within the container, which can also provoke leakage. Packages that leak damage labels, waste product and harm brand image. Packaging engineers must address these design issues to maintain package integrity throughout distribution, transportation and storage.

GORE™ Packaging Vents are a simple, but technically advanced solution to keep packaging in shape and prevent leakage. The vents are made of special gas-permeable, microporous membranes that repel liquids and microparticles while equalizing pressure to protect both the package and its contents. GORE™ Packaging Vents filter incoming air and prevent contamination. They allow consistent airflow, even after liquid contact.

Benefits

•  Protects packaging and contents throughout product life

•  Allows venting performance even after liquid contact

•  Integrates easily into current packaging

Typical Applications

•  Industrial cleaners

•  Agricultural products (pesticides and fertilizers in liquid or powder form)

•  Pharmaceuticals

•  Consumer products

GORE™ Packaging Vents products

GORE™ Packaging Vents are available in a variety of products.

•  GORE™ Molded Components

With their unique press-fit design GORE™ Molded Components offer an outstanding solution for venting systems. Both manually or automatically these parts can be easily snapped into your packaging.

•  GORE™ Assembled Caps

The GORE™ membrane is directly incorporated in standard caps thus avoiding expensive investments in machines, equipment and cap or mold modification. Simply send the non-vented cap to Gore where it will be customized and returned to you as a vented cap.

•  GORE™ Liners and Induction Liners

GORE Induction Liners are innovative closure inserts for screw caps that combine a vent and a tamper-evidence feature.
