Amcor Flexibles received two awards at the Flexible Packaging Association’s (FPA) Annual Achievement Awards, held on March 3, 2015
“We are honored to be recognized for the fourth consecutive year as winners of FPA gold and silver awards,” said Tom Cochran, VP and GM – Americas, Medical and Extrusion, Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas. “Our customers challenge us to develop packaging solutions that complement their products. We are proud to meet that challenge.”
Amcor Flexibles received a Gold Award in the Technical Innovation category for Dessiflex, desiccant impregnated films used products in medical, pharmaceutical and other markets.
Amcor’s Dessiflex is extremely effective at both removing moisture within a package and retarding moisture penetration through sealed edges of the package. The patented technology incorporates desiccant into the primary packaging eliminating the need for sachets and other types of moisture scavengers.
Dessiflex even removes retained moisture from packages exposed to high humidity sterilization. It also reduces the environmental footprint approximately 20% compared to a pouch with a desiccant sachet. Amcor’s Dessiflex provides a unique combination of simplified production and shelf life extension. It is simpler and better desiccant packaging.
Amcor Flexibles also received a Silver Award in the Sustainability category for Amcor’s SachetLite used for hard-to-hold products in home, personal care and other markets.
Amcor’s SachetLite is an environmentally friendly alternative to standard high-barrier sachet packaging. It provides the moisture and oxygen barrier required for sensitive products, the chemical resistance needed for aggressive products, and the robust package appearance desired for a premium brand image. SachetLite’s environmental footprint is a reduction of at least 25% on most measures and almost 54% on water consumption. SachetLite is part of Amcor’s product offerings with reduced environmental impact.
