The packaging’s high-quality artwork, printed with precision using nine ink stations on a UTECO Onyx press, enhances its visual appeal. Laser-scored and tear notches simplify the opening process, while a central punch hanging perforation allows for easy display. The three-layer construction, featuring soft-touch and metallized polyester layers along with low-density polyethylene for sealing, ensures product protection and aesthetic allure.

Boise Paper® ProActive Recyclable® RP-1000 Ream Wrap

Manufacturer: ProAmpac; proampac.com 

Description: ProActive Recyclable® RP-1000 is designed for curbside recycling through existing paper streams. The material falls within curbside recycling requirements to render the packaging eligible for disposal in existing streams. Also, RP-1000 material helps to lower emissions and water usage in the production of the overall packaging. 

AmPrima™ PE Recycle Ready Flow Wrap for Chunk Cheese

Manufacturer: Amcor Flexibles; amcor.com 

Description: Amcor’s revolutionary AmPrima™ PE Flow Wrap is the first recycle ready, fully functional solution for the multibillion dollar North American natural chunk cheese market. Chunk cheese is one of today’s most stringent and difficult packaging applications. It demands a high oxygen barrier and abuse resistance, with strong seals produced under blazing-fast converting speeds. The new AmPrima™ film successfully meets these challenges, delivering “recycle ready packaging with no compromise on performance.” The new structure is designed for recycling under the stringent protocols of the Association of Plastic Recyclers. When recycled, the AmPrima™ package provides a 47% reduction in carbon footprint over standard flow wrap.

F-AFR-M Alu-Alu Replacement Metallized Polyester Film

Manufacturer: Flex Films (USA) Inc.; flexfilm.com

Description: Food packaging requires a strong packaging structure that protects the content from extraneous factors, which could spoil the product. To meet the exceptional barrier requirements for oxygen and moisture-sensitive products like milk powder, coffee packaging, or beverage packaging, the Flexible Packaging Films Business Division of UFlex developed a barrier biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film “F-AFR-M” with metallization on one side and the option of corona treatment on the other side. F-AFR-M offers a metal bond strength of more than 600 g/25 mm that allows easy handling and machinability. Owing to its high oxygen (0.1 cc/m2/day) and moisture barrier (0.1 gm/m2/day) properties and easy recyclability, the film has emerged as a successful replacement for aluminum foil for dried packaging applications, enabling brands to step closer to their sustainability goals. F-AFR-M film can be printed and laminated with biaxially oriented polypropylene/cast polypropylene and can be easily converted into flexible packaging.
