Products with an eye for the future

Dave’s Killer Bread Extended Shelf Life English Muffin Package

Manufacturer: Amcor Flexibles, amcor.com

Description: This high-barrier film was designed to preserve the integrity of the product and prolong shelf life by reducing the onset of mold growth using modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology. The package features a red tear-tape and a zipper for consumer convenience and easy opening and closing. The film’s sealant, with excellent hot tack and seal strength, allows for the high-speed packing required in the bread industry. These features are required to have a low loss rate of this natural-yet-fragile product. This technology provides the ultimate sustainability benefit of reducing food waste. The MAP technology used in this application extends product shelf life beyond the typical 10–14 days.

Wander Beyond Brewing

Manufacturer: Plastic Suppliers, Inc. (PSI), plasticsuppliers.com

Description: Wander Beyond Brewing’s brand packaging objective was to mirror its natural microbrew ingredients with unique brand packaging. EarthFirst® PLA base materials are annually renewable, bio-based sources, and the label—featuring PSI’s manufactured compostable decoration—is compostable to ASTM D6400. Inherent in its bio-based chemistry, the decoration film is naturally decoupled from fossil fuel-based industry options.

Happy Inside Cereal

Manufacturer: PPC Flexible Packaging, ppcflex.com

Description: The cereal industry has been trying to find a better alternative to the box with a bag inside for years. This is a 100% flexible stand-up pouch.  Also, the clear sealant web is a nine-layer coex that provides all of the attributes that you would want in a stand-up pouch without the use of things like aluminum oxide, which can be costly or have negative environmental implications. Finally, the registered matte finish allows the customer to create a craft or premium appearance along with the contrast of a clear window. 

Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics™

Manufacturer: ProAmpac, proampac.com

Description: Scotts Miracle-Gro® partnered with ProAmpac to design a more sustainable package for the launch of Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics™ growing media. They achieved this by replacing 25% of the traditional oil- or natural gas-based polyethylene (PE) with a bio-based resin made from sugarcane. More importantly, the cultivation of sugarcane uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen to give bioplastic a negative carbon footprint. 

Additionally, Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics™ reuses millions of pounds of organic materials annually in the soil product content, further demonstrating the company’s commitment to sustainability. These extruded structures provide a durable and more sustainable package. With approval from rigorous testing measures, the new bag can withstand harsh environmental challenges while maintaining the quality and performance of the product. 

DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

Willow® Pump Leak-Proof Pouch

Manufacturer: Vonco Products, LLC, vonco.com

Description: Willow® is the world’s first all-in-one wearable breast pump that fits inside a bra. Integral to the system is a doughnut shaped milk bag. Each disposable bag holds 4 oz. and features a one-way valve so milk goes in and doesn’t come out. A fresh bag is tucked inside the Willow® pump for each use. Moms can either pour the milk into a bottle for immediate use or they can store it in the refrigerator or freezer.

DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

AMSOIL® Easy Pack

Manufacturer: AMSOIL INC., amsoil.com

Description: AMSOIL® Easy Packs are a revolutionary solution to a longstanding problem. From DIYers to professional mechanics, rigid bottles make dispensing fluids difficult in the confined spaces of modern vehicles, resulting in wasted product, spillage, and a poor user experience. The flexibility of the AMSOIL® Easy Pack, integrated handle, and ergonomic design, provide confidence and ease-of-use when maneuvering in tight spaces. No need for specialty tools, funnels, pumps, etc.

DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

Spiff-E-Whip

Manufacturer: PPC Flexible Packaging, ppcflex.com

Description: The use of 300-line screen on the Augason Farms Spiff-E-Whip pouch bag makes the cake look edible. The strawberries are vibrant, and the marble table beneath has a subtle touch with minimal gain. Printing white this clean is a challenge, especially when dealing with highlights. The transition around the highlights on this bag blends nicely and fades cleanly to white.

DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

Sundrop Choco Popz, 140g

Manufacturer: Paharpur 3P, paharpur3p.com

Description: The combination of gloss and matte effect has given an abstract look to this pouch. This pouch is printed with seven colors through the gravure route.
