Dole Crafted Smoothie Blends

Manufacturer: Emerald Packaging, Inc., empack.com

Description: The Dole Crafted Smoothie Blends is a series of three SKUs launched in early 2018. This PE/ink/water-based adhesive/PE pouch provides all the required functional and aesthetic properties while utilizing 100% recyclable films. Emerald developed a recyclable alternative, moving the original PET/PE structure to a PE/PE structure. The nonrecyclable laminated PET web was replaced by recyclable polyethylene (PE), making it a PE/PE recyclable pouch. It is printed in 10 colors on a Windmoeller & Hoelscher Miraflex printing press for dynamic graphics and shelf appeal in the supermarket. The PE/PE pouch offers the same convenience and performance of multi-material pouches with the added benefit of being recyclable where PE bag and film recovery efforts currently exist.
