Company achieves breakthrough in packaging design with new US patents: 'A testament ... to push the boundaries'
Recyclable packaging is becoming more common, and now ProAmpac has shared its attainment of new U.S. patents for its ProActive Sustainability line of recyclable and recycle-ready packaging. The company said in a news release that it had been granted multiple patents in the United States, marking a significant achievement in its push to create sustainable alternatives to plastic packaging without compromising efficiency and performance. ProAmpac's patents include packaging for pet treats and food, liquids, frozen and dry foods, and more. The innovations range from recyclable films to recycle-ready structures. According to the ProAmpac website, its flexible packaging boasts a wealth of consumer benefits, such as microwavability, easy storage, and extended shelf life for products. The website also shares some of the sustainable benefits, including how making the packaging consumes fewer natural resources and creates a smaller carbon footprint than other products. With ProAmpac's sustainable packaging, food manufacturers could reduce the amount of plastic packaging they use, which would be a boon for consumers. Plastic packaging is created from dirty fuels that contribute to heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, so more companies opting for ProAmpac's packaging could greatly reduce pollution. This is, of course, good news for the environment, too. But it's excellent news for people since curbing pollution leads to a reduced risk of health problems. Using less plastic means there is less risk of microplastics seeping into water and soil — and less risk of people consuming them. Plus, reducing dirty fuel pollution could help calm extreme weather events, protecting communities everywhere. Of course, corporations will need to step up when it comes to sustainability goals and choose ProAmpac's packaging for their products, but the more companies that do, the better the outcome will be. "Securing these patents is a testament to ProAmpac's deep expertise in material science and our relentless drive to push the boundaries of sustainable packaging," ProAmpac senior vice president of global product development and innovation Hesam Tabatabaei told Petfood Industry. "As brands look to meet evolving sustainability goals, our patented mono-material technologies provide a seamless transition to recyclable flexible packaging while maintaining product shelf life, durability, and production efficiency they depend on."

ProAmpac unveils advanced butter wraps for dairy packaging
ProAmpac, a flexible packaging solutions provider, has broadened its dairy packaging offerings with advanced butter wrap solutions. The new additions include the Butter Fresh Parchment solution and a foil-paper composite option, designed for butter, margarine, and other fat-based solid products. ProAmpac noted that the wraps are engineered to provide both grease resistance and dead-fold characteristics. These wrap features reduce air contact and prevent grease seepage, thus ensuring products stay in optimal condition for longer, the company added. The foil-paper composite wrap, meanwhile, is designed to offer a strong grease barrier and protection from UV rays, safeguarding the product's integrity. With an embossing feature, it enhances processing efficiency while adding texture, ultimately improving its dead-fold performance during production. Additionally, the wrap also boasts a durable bond, preventing delamination and curling, which ensures its stability even during high-volume processing. This makes it a reliable option for fast-paced production environments, where durability is key. ProAmpac product development vice-president Jim Tierney said: 'With Butter Fresh Parchment, we're delivering a wax-free, PFAS [per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances]-free solution with excellent grease resistance and designed for compostability. 'Paired with our durable foil-paper-based wrap, these solutions ensure efficient processing and premium product presentation.' In addition to the butter wraps, ProAmpac's portfolio includes a variety of dairy packaging solutions such as lidding, cheese packaging, and spouted yoghurt pouches. The company said that its PRO-FLEX films are tailored to meet the demands of both the natural chunk and shredded cheese markets, whether for retail or institutional use. Last month, ProAmpac expanded its ProActive Intelligence portfolio with new moisture-adsorbing films within the Moisture Protect series. The new moisture-adsorbing films are designed to enhance product protection and support sustainability in flexible packaging.
