ProAmpac launched a premium recyclable quad-seal, flat bottom bag for High Island Organics’ new product, All-Purpose Organic Fertilizer.
To produce the new quad-seal bag, ProAmpac collaborated with its customer, High Island Organics, a family-owned producer of organic fertilizers.
ProAmpac refers to this bag as ProActive Recyclable QUADFLEX which is part of its ProActive Sustainability product offerings.
“The ability to be among the first in the industry to design a quad-seal bag that provides both durability and sustainability without sacrificing one for the other, makes ProActive Recyclable QUADFLEX a remarkable innovation,” said Maria Halford, VP of global marketing for ProAmpac.
ProActive Recyclable QUADFLEX is a premium recyclable polyethylene quad-seal style flat bottom bag that features the benefits of both ProAmpac’s durable QUADFLEX bag format, and ProActive Recyclable film structure.
Approved for store drop-off recycling through polyethylene recycling streams, the premium quad-seal, flat bottom format features:
- Five panels of billboard space to deliver enhanced store shelf presence and a sturdy design to allow the pouch to free stand on the shelf;
- Reclosable options such as an Aplix zipper offering ease of use while preserving product freshness;
- An optional clear window or side gusset option to provide product visibility;
-
Accommodate filled product up to 15lbs and can be used in lawn & garden; dry pet food and treats; dry snacks; cereals; confectionary; and frozen food applications
“This was an exciting project to work on. One of the key challenges we faced was how to create a recyclable structure that met seal strength requirements and provided the barrier needed to lock in product freshness," said Vance Fortenberry, director of product development for ProAmpac.
“Using ProAmpac’s quad-seal bag, we were able to bring to market a well-crafted and reliable recyclable package which reflects the needs of our customers and our company’s mission of livability,” said Michael Asmus, co-founder of Agricultural Innovations, LLC and producer of High Island Organic fertilizers.
