Products with an eye for the future

Compostable Package With Laser Die-Cut Window for Volpi Foods

Manufacturer: C-P Flexible Packaging; cpflexpack.com 

Description: Volpi’s compostable package for award-winning handcrafted charcuterie meats represents a leap forward in sustainability, being the first of its kind in the world of cured meats. C-P Flexible Packaging’s proprietary GreenStream™ compostable packaging is Biodegradable Products Institute-certified and meets stringent American Society for Testing and Materials D6400 test standards. This package reduces the use of plastics, and the material exhibits exceptional performance, durability, machinability, and sealing properties. It also utilizes a laser die-cut window for visibility of the handmade charcuterie meats inside. 

Premium Turkish Coffee Mood, Dark Roast, 250g

Award: Silver Award—Printing 

Manufacturer: Emirates Printing Press, L.L.C.; eppdubai.com 

Description: With the help of high-end reproduction systems, the fabulous print quality on the laminate was achieved with registered matte for the background and a shiny product image. The shiny and matte combination makes the product more visible on the shelf. Aluminum foil provides a high barrier and helps to keep the product fresh and preserve aroma. 

Shehrazade Basmati Rice Blue Pouch, 5kg

Award: Gold Awards—Technical Innovation, Packaging Excellence, Printing, Shelf Impact 

Manufacturer: Emirates Printing Press, L.L.C.; eppdubai.com 

Description: The previous version of this pouch was created with tailor-made window metallized film, which is costly and limited in availability. To replace the tailor-made window, Emirates Printing Press used a registered metallized polyethylene terephthalate lamination that was printed with reverse print and surface matte. The Shehrazade pouch is printed with an inline-registered matte coating, which creates a premium eye-catching look on the shelf. High-dart polyethylene is used to meet the dart impact of the laminate, sustain drop tests, and improve bursting strength during transport and handling. The D punch on the pouch helps consumers carry the bag easily. 

Nut Bites with Espresso and Orange, 30g

Manufacturer: Paharpur 3P; paharpur3p.com

Description: The Nut Bites laminate was designed with a 3-ply laminate consisting of high heat resistant biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) for printing, high barrier metallized BOPP for providing ultra-high oxygen and moisture barrier, and a heat sealable cast polypropylene film. The design of the pouch with a 100% mono-polymer film of polypropylene makes the pouch 100% recyclable. This development replaced the existing design of foil-based laminates, which are not recyclable. This newly developed package design provides excellent barrier protection for product freshness and is easily recyclable.

Thomas’® Corn Toast-R-Cakes

Manufacturer: PPC Flex; ppcflex.com

Description: Expanding the use of flexible film packaging, the Thomas’® Corn Toast-R-Cakes features an innovative resealable feature in its packaging. The convenient peel-to-open component makes it easy for the consumer to use again and again while simultaneously extending the product’s shelf life by keeping contaminations out so the product stays fresher for longer.

Tyson Foods Foam Tray Replacement With Forming/Nonforming Film From Amcor

Award: Silver Award—Sustainability 

Manufacturer: Amcor Flexibles; amcor.com 

Description: Tyson and Amcor launched a new forming/ nonforming solution for expanded polystyrene (EPS) tray replacement used in fresh poultry. This important product launch replaces the traditional foamed polystyrene tray that has been a mainstay in the fresh meat industry for decades. With EPS being increasingly restricted in some states and municipalities, an alternative was needed, and a flexible forming/nonforming vacuum package offers sustainability benefits compared to rigid package alternatives. These sustainability benefits show the innovation possible with flexible packaging and are part of the long-term trend of rigid-to-flexible conversion.
