Award: Silver Award—Sustainability 

Manufacturer: Amcor Flexibles North America; amcor.com/afna 

Description: The Amcor Moda vacuum packaging solution is a streamlined tubular rollstock/on-demand bag-making system for fresh meat processors. Used for U.S. beef exports, the solution reduces material costs by up to 30%, lowers packaging inventory requirements, and reduces packaging SKUs by printing on the tubing as it runs. Export inserts that must be dated and manually inserted are eliminated. The versatile tubestock packages many sizes and cuts of bone-in and boneless meat. High-resolution thermal transfer printing prints logos and variable information like dates and time codes directly on the package. Package dimensions and graphics are changed at the touch of a button.
