Liqui-Box has received the Silver Award for Technical Innovation for its development and commercialization of the FlexAsept bulk food package from the Flexible Packaging Association.
Introduced in 2012, the FlexAsept package delivers flexibility, improved thermal resistance and oxygen transmission rate performance.
This package reduces dunnage, extra handling and product spoilage as a result of flex cracking.
Some customers have been able to eliminate up to 100% of the dunnage that is used to protect against flex cracking.
The association judged 66 package entries featuring submissions that integrate consumer trends and needs with technical advancements in materials, graphics, structure, and sustainability to produce outstanding flexible packaging solutions.
Nineteen packages were recognized with 23 Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards within one or more categories including Packaging Excellence, Printing and Shelf Impact, Technical Innovation and Sustainability.
