Innovation Showcase Spotlight November 2024

Meet the standouts from the flexible packaging industry! These packages from Amcor Flexibles, Berry Global & Mondi Group, PPC Flex, Printpack, and Sonoco Flexible Packaging feature innovative designs that improve convenience, use, consumer satisfaction, and more. 

Amcor Flexibles 

Amcor’s PP Revolution™ Recycle-ready Dip Cups with EZ Peel® Lidding are the first of their kind. Switching from industry-standard polystyrene cups to PP Revolution™ offers a superior environmental footprint and more consistent product quality and flavor throughout shelf life. 

Chunk cheese is one of the most difficult packaging applications due to the high oxygen barrier and seals it demands. The AmPrima™ PE Recycle-ready Flow Wrap for Chunk Cheese tackles this issue head-on and delivers a recyclable option without compromising performance.  

Ocean Mist® Farms’ Season & Steam Fresh Brussel Sprouts in Stand-up Pouch offers a delicious alternative to frozen sprouts. The “season to taste” concept allows consumers to pre-season the sprouts before microwaving, providing an easy, healthy side dish! 

Berry Global & Mondi Group 

The new Store Drop-off Recyclable Pet Food Package created for Nestlé Purina features top-of-the-line lamination and a customized barrier sealant and is eligible for the How2Recycle® store drop-off program. 

PPC Flex 

Liquid I.V.® Sugar-Free Hydration Multiplier® Lemon Lime appeals to the sustainably conscious and those looking for a product with less sugar. The colorful bag was printed and laminated on recyclable film, with a zipper and laser score for an easier tear. 

The Wyld™ CBD Elderberry Gummies package is not only attractive but made to be environmentally friendly. It is printed digitally and laminated by PPC Flex on compostable film, designed to break down in home or industrial compost environments within 180 days! 

The Xgo™ Rollstock Films are modified atmosphere packaging made with chemically recycled material. Its properties help slow the ripening process of fruits and vegetables to preserve quality during transportation. 

Printpack 

The combination of materials used in the previous version of this packaging made recycling very difficult. The Kleenex® Liquid Soap stand-up pouch is made with 100% polyethylene, making recycling easier than ever. This solution also features a die-cut dispensing channel, reducing the amount of plastic weight by as much as 30%. 

Until recently, La Huerta’s Great Value™ Broccoli packaging was comprised of a PET/PE structure – but the company wanted a more sustainable option. Printpack’s solution was an all-PE structure that maintains its micro-perforations and ability to go directly from the freezer to the microwave. 

The Member’s Mark™ Southwest Salad Kit brings sustainable packaging options to the fresh produce market. The all-polyethylene film is approved for store drop-off recycling and provides the same quality and performance as its non-recyclable alternatives. 

Sonoco Flexible Packaging 

BrightFarms® Leafy Greens Lidding is designed for refrigerated conditions and is precision perforated for an elongated shelf-life. By replacing traditional clamshells with this flexible lid, the package uses 35% less plastic. 

The Orchard Valley Harvest™ Stand-Up Pouch was created to refresh the brand, which would help differentiate the product in the retail space. The graphics rely on a primary color and simple contrasting images to draw consumers to the unique look.
