Bemis Company, Inc. (NYSE:BMS) received two DuPont Awards for
Packaging Innovation at DuPont’s recognition celebration, held
recently in Wilmington, Delaware. Bemis was presented a Silver
Award for Technological Advancement for the Hillshire Brands® Heat
Fresh™ package and a Silver Award for Enhanced User Experience for
the Fugini standup pouch for vegetables.
“We are honored to receive these prestigious DuPont awards,”
said William Jackson, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer
of Bemis Company. “These recognitions reflect our persistent focus
on innovation, our technological expertise in material science, and
our collaborative relationships with innovative customers like
Hillshire and Fugini.”
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 Fugini standup pouch for vegetables uses Bemis’ unique
barrier films in South America to provide a light, strong, and
flexible replacement for the former metal can packaging format.
This sustainable packaging format not only helps deliver reduced
logistics costs, as it weighs significantly less than bulkier metal
cans, but also provides convenience at the foodservice and retail
levels with its innovative features that make it easy to store,
handle, and open.
The DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation program is the
industry’s longest-running, global, independently judged
competition that honors innovations in packaging design, materials,
technology, processes, and service across the entire packaging
value chain. Inaugurated in 1986, the DuPont Packaging Awards
program is now recognized as the leading packaging awards program
in the world.
