This pouch allows your product to be sterilized in a process called "retorting". 

 

During the process your product is usually heated up to 121°C (250°F) under high pressure. This treatment allows for an extended product shelf life.

 

Due to this harsh environment, retorted packaging is considered to be the most demanding application in terms of production capabilities and safety standards.
