REFERENCIA 2:
Heiss told me the institute had received a request from the German high command during World War II to develop a convenient package to supply the Wehrmacht with tasty, nutritious, ready-to-eat meals. At the time, German soldiers were eating preserved sausages and carried crisp bread and dried vegetables, including sauerkraut, which were compressed into blocks and wrapped in foil or cellophane.

Heiss and his coworkers conceived of a thin-profile package with a high surface area to volume. The first retort pouch was cello/foil/pliofilm, and while it worked in theory, it failed in practice. He told me he thought it would never replace the tin can because of the huge investment in canning equipment.

Let's now skip to the present. From clear barrier pouches to zippers and laser scoring, there have been significant improvements in retort pouch technologies over the years. And there has been some soft penetration into some traditional metal can markets such as tuna fish and pet food. Flex-pack converters such as Fres-Co System USA and Sonoco have invested large sums of money in retortable projects, joining firms such as Pyramid Flexible Packaging, Curwood, Kapak Corp., and CLP Packaging Solutions.

On the same Internet page:

The huge amount of capital invested in can lines, coupled with their speed and efficiency, will preclude their major replacement by pouch machines. In spite of the big advantages of flexible packaging over rigid packaging, the lions\' share of supermarket packaging is still metal cans. For the retort pouch to capture additional market from metal cans, an entirely new supermarket infrastructure is needed.
