Bemis Company, Inc. (NYSE:BMS) received Flexible Packaging
Achievement Awards for two packaging innovations at the Flexible
Packaging Association’s 58th annual Achievement Awards and
Innovation Showcase, held recently in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the
Technical Innovation category, the Hillshire Brands® Heat Fresh™
package won a gold award. In the Packaging Excellence category and
also in the Sustainability and Environmental Achievement category,
the Bonfire Standup Pouch won a gold award and a silver award,
respectively.
“Using innovation and expertise in polymer science, we transform
our customers’ ideas and needs into packaging solutions for their
brands while meeting consumer demand for freshness, appeal, and
convenience. We are honored to receive these Packaging Achievement
Awards, a testament to our investment in innovation over the
years,” said William Jackson, Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer of Bemis Company. “We are pleased to collaborate with
innovative customers like Hillshire and Bonfire to provide unique
solutions.”
The Hillshire Brands® Heat Fresh™ package combines proprietary
films and innovative features to control moisture, heat, and
pressure during microwaving. This package solves the perpetual need
in microwavable sandwich kits to keep the bread soft while heating
the rest of the product. These innovations can be integrated into a
wide range of heat-and-eat solutions.
The Bonfire Standup Pouch features Bemis’ Liquiflex® Advance™
inner layer for maximum barrier, strength, stiffness, and
freshness. Using Bemis’ film technology for a first-in-kind shaped
barrel pouch, this package solved the “sagging” challenge common to
liquid packaging. While the pouch’s portability and one-touch
dispensing feature address consumer convenience needs, Bemis film
technology ensures consistent quality during the distribution
process. As compared to the alternative glass bottle packaging
format, the Bonfire Standup Pouch offers a significantly smaller
carbon footprint over the package life cycle.
The Flexible Packaging Association has conducted the Flexible
Packaging Achievement Awards competition since 1956 to showcase
innovation and advance the use of flexible packaging. One of the
industry’s most respected recognitions, the Flexible Packaging
Achievement Awards competition focuses on packaging excellence,
technical innovation, printing achievement, and sustainability and
environmental achievement.
