Collaboration and Innovation Recognised as Amcor Secures Three Awards in DuPont Packaging Awards 2017 - Seite 2

"Coffee roasters want to reduce the cost and complexity of packaging while increasing the speed of their operations," said Mr. Zerbini.  "The Vento degassing system is integrated into the laminate, provides more packaging design flexibility, runs on all coffee packing machines, and can increase the speed of the packaging process."

Vento maintains barrier integrity and product freshness, weighs less, and has a reduced carbon footprint compared to coffee packaging with hard valves. It removes the need to purchase and apply traditional valves, and allows coffee to be packed immediately after roasting with no additional equipment or steps.

The third honoured product, Peelfit™ was developed by Crown Holdings Inc. using Amcor's CanSeal Pro. Peelfit is designed for dry-food markets to address demands for greater convenience, reduced packaging weight, and increased product protection.

"Peelfit is the result of work by Crown's talented designers and engineers with our strategic packaging partner Amcor," said Olivier Aubry, Business Development and Marketing Director, Crown Food Europe.

Amcor's CanSeal Pro is a revolutionary flexible membrane, which allows Peelfit™ to use less metal while maintaining performance and functionality. Sustainability benefits include the elimination of the rigid steel ring typically required in double seaming applications, making the container 16 percent lighter than conventional foil seam cans.

The DuPont Awards for Packaging is an international, independently-judged competition that honors innovations in packaging design, materials, technology and processes throughout the entire packaging value chain. The judging panel evaluated more than 140 entries from 24 countries.

Amcor has won DuPont Awards for a number of packaging solutions in recent years, including Formpack® Ultra, cold form blister packaging for the pharmaceutical industry, and a PET bottle for Method Products which contains 100-percent post-consumer recycled PET resin.
