Constantia Flexibles Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of flexible packaging and labels, announced it has won four Alufoil Trophies in 2017. Every year, the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA) recognizes the most outstanding packaging products, which are either made from aluminum foil or contain aluminum foil as part of a laminate, structure or packaging system, as well as aluminum closures, with the Alufoil Trophy. Overall, there were nine winners across five specific categories, plus a trophy given for Innovation in Application for the first time that also went to Constantia Flexibles.
“We are very honored to receive not one but four of these prestigious awards this year,” said Alexander Baumgartner, CEO of Constantia Flexibles. “We are especially proud to win the Application Innovation award - that was given for the first time - together with our customer ABInBev, as this demonstrates that our longstanding customer relationships enable us to carry out joint projects very successfully.”
The award categories cover every aspect of aluminum foil usage across many diverse markets, particularly those for packaging and technical applications. The classifications are Consumer Convenience; Marketing and Design; Product Protection; Resource Efficiency; and Technical Innovation. The awarded products of Constantia Flexibles are the following:
• Consumer Convenience - CONSTANTIA Unshredded Wrap: A new aluminum foil wrapper, called Unshredded Wrap, from Constantia Flexibles ends the frustration of chocolate lovers trying to peel off the aluminum foil in little bits. The ‘elastic’ lacquer on the foil means it comes off in one piece.
• Marketing and Design - Bone-Shape Container with high-end printing: A Bone-Shaped Container pack, designed for wet dog food, has a powerful shelf appearance and message, according to the judges. The entire aluminum foil pack, created by Constantia Flexibles for German pet food manufacturer saturn petcare, is also printed to underline bones as one of any dogs’ favorite foods.
• Product Protection - Cakees – Ready-to-eat cakes: German company “Bäckerei Stiebling” needed a sustainable pack to protect its Cakees range of innovative cake products. Constantia Flexibles developed a sealed aluminum container system, which offers a shelf life of up to one year and excellent barrier properties. Using this packaging system means no cold chain is required.
• Application Innovation - Constantia Flexibles and ABInBev: Capsule for beer flavor dispenser: “Capsule for beer flavor dispenser” is an aluminum capsule system, containing liquid flavor syrup, specially designed for a unique beer dispensing technology. The system, which allows serving multiple drink options from a single beer keg in pubs, is a joint development by ABInBev and Constantia Flexibles.
