Products with an eye for the future

Kleenex® Liquid Soap 100% PE, 450ml

Manufacturer: Printpack; printpack.com 

Description: Kimberly Clark’s Kleenex® Liquid Soap incumbent stand-up pouch was made of a structure consisting of polyester, nylon, and polyethylene (PE), which made the package very difficult to recycle. The new version is designed solely with PE, making it easily recyclable. In addition, the new solution removed the traditional screw-cap spout and replaced it with a die cut dispensing channel, reducing the amount of plastic weight used by as much as 30%. 


F-POX Excellent Oxygen and Moisture Barrier Transparent BOPET Film

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

Description: F-POX Excellent Oxygen and Moisture Barrier Transparent BOPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) Film is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based transparent barrier film with the highest gas barrier property in the industry, utilizing the new film and special unique coating developed by UFlex. This is an excellent oxygen (0.5 cc/m2/day) and moisture barrier (2.0 gm/m2/day) transparent BOPET film with optical clarity. The film is a superior product to polyvinylidene chloride-coated PET film and ethylene vinyl alcohol PET film. It is also thermally stable and achieves exceptional processability. This film enables see-through packaging while functioning as a high-aroma retention barrier. Therefore, it is apt for storing dry and chilled food. F-POX film can be printed and laminated with biaxially oriented polypropylene and cast polypropylene and can be easily converted into flexible packaging. 


Dog Delights™ Beef Tendersticks™

Manufacturer: Tempo Flexible Packaging; tempoflexiblepackaging.com 

Description: One of the Crump Group’s top-selling stock keeping units and a favorite of Costco Canada shoppers, the Dog Delights™ Beef Tendersticks™ treats achieved a major milestone in 2023 by rebuilding the package as recycle ready and prioritizing a circular economy for plastics.


F-PSX High-Barrier Alox Polyester Film

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

Description: The packaging films business of the company introduced F­PSX high-barrier transparent biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film. The film has a protective printable layer atop a high-barrier vacuum deposit on one side and is primer coated or untreated on the other side. The critical attributes of F­PSX include moisture and oxygen barrier properties and higher yield over polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC)-coated films. This PVDC/ethylene vinyl alcohol polyethylene-coated film replacement is environmentally friendly and has high clarity and product visibility. The F-PSX film can be printed and laminated with biaxially oriented polypropylene/cast polypropylene and can be easily converted into flexible packaging.

This packaging innovation successfully reduced plastic usage by 85%, transitioning from a rigid plastic jar to a flexible pouch. Additionally, the pouch demonstrates a commitment to recycled materials because it contains a minimum of 30% overall post-consumer recycled content, further contributing to the reduction of plastic waste. Notably, it features a high-clarity window so consumers can easily view the product inside.
