Bemis Company, Inc. (NYSE:BMS) has been selected for a 2015
DuPont Award for Packaging Innovation, receiving a Silver Award in
the Enhanced User Experience category for the BelGioioso resealable
provolone cheese package.
“We are honored to receive this prestigious DuPont award and be
recognized, along with our customer, for this innovative packaging
solution,” said William Jackson, Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer of Bemis Company. “Our peel-reseal technology
and practical structural design applied in the BelGioioso provolone
package enable freshness, longer shelf life, and less food waste,
thereby providing consumer convenience and environmental
benefits.”
The new BelGioioso resealable provolone package combines Bemis’
proprietary films and innovative consumer convenience features to
transform resealable packaging formats at the club store level.
Incorporating a lightweight, thin flexible forming film, this
package provides consumers the ability to easily peel and reseal
the package at least 20 times with Bemis’ SmartTack™ EZ Peel®
Reseal™ technology. Perforation between the package’s two
compartments allows the consumer to easily separate without using a
knife or scissors. The individual cheese compartments are sealed
separately, preserving the freshness of the unused portion and also
reducing food waste – all while creating differentiation at the
club store level for BelGioioso Cheese.
The DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation program is the
industry’s longest-running, global, independently judged
competition that honors innovation and collaboration throughout 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.
