DuPont Awards Unveil Innovative Food Packaging

The DuPont Packaging Innovation Award is the industry's longest-standing global independent review packaging award. It is a recognition and recognition of innovation and cooperation achievements throughout the value chain, and is a globally recognized major packaging award. This international award rewards innovations in packaging design, materials, technology and processing. This article will continue to introduce products that have won gold and silver awards in the food and beverage sector.

Gold Award

â—† Steamed sauce bag (Pulmuone, Korea)

Pulmuone Korea was awarded the gold medal for its commercial use of commercial water-based plastic paste. This product overcomes the problem of boiling water-based glue that deforms at 266 degrees Fahrenheit and meets two standards of advanced technology and responsible packaging.

In expanding applications, this innovation improves the safety of packaging materials by reducing the use of organic solvents. Especially for today's unique consumers, they are concerned about the possibility of organic material extraction problems in the high-temperature processes needed to package and cook products. This innovation has eased people's concerns. In addition, by reducing the use of organic solvents, CO2 emissions have also been reduced, which shows Pulmuone's commitment to sustainable development.

â—† Synek Beer Bags (MondiJackson, USA)

MondiJackson of the United States won the 28th DuPont Award for Packaging Innovation for its innovative beer bag soft pack produced by Synek. This kind of flexible bag shows technological advancement and enhances the user experience excellence. It can be used to fill craft beer from pubs or home brewing systems, and can maintain beer freshness for 30 days.

The beer can flexible bag has a patented multi-layer barrier structure, which can extend the shelf life of the product and increase the anti-piercing ability. In addition, this package also provides 100% UV protection, does not leak, and is vacuum sealed; it can be sanitized after each use. When the pressure is over 25 Pascals (if the pressure is exceeded, the gas will be discharged), the taste and taste of the beer will not be affected, because all the materials of the packaging have been reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration and have undergone a chemical and double-blind taste. The test.

Soft bags can also convey information and provide both graphical and textual cues, allowing users to easily integrate flexible bags with home distribution systems.

Synek's flexible bag is the only independent flexible package that can withstand beer pressure. The soft bag can be used like a small beer keg, but can be transported and stored completely flat, weighs only 0.16 pounds, thus reducing the transportation And storage costs reduce storage space. The filled beer can maintain a preset temperature and pressure, so that the beer can maintain an extremely long shelf life. The flexible structure allows brewing people to fill and transport their beer almost anaerobicly; at home drinking beer, they provide the best quality.

Silver Award

â—† Christmas bow tie label (Belgium Coca-Cola Company)

Thanks to its outstanding performance in enhancing the user experience, the Christmas Coca-Cola Company won the Silver Award in the 28th DuPont Packaging Innovation Award. In terms of packaging science and innovation, the Christmas bowtie tag has achieved true breakthrough innovations and delivered a truly new, interactive user experience.

The package presents a unique and innovative design implementation program - using a modified roller label, in normal delivery, the label is in a flat form; when the consumer pulls on the pull bar, it can be easily turned into a bow tie. It can be crushed several times and transformed to allow consumers to experience multiple uses.

Combining high-speed flexo presses with a more specialized narrow-web printer, this interactive label provides a surprisingly festive effect for regular soft drinks. All these tasks are carried out in a cost-effective manner and do not have any impact on the high-speed bottling process. By adding a complex production/transformation process to the packaging production supply chain, technological innovations are implemented within the margins of the bottling equipment technology, which is also permitted.

â—† A new generation of seasoning sauce tube packaging (Japan House Foods Group)

Japan's HouseFoods Group won the Silver Award at the 28th DuPont Packaging Innovation Award for its innovative extruded flavored packaging tube that enhances the user experience.

The 2D bar code on the packaging tube guides the user to an interactive cooking website with 35,000 formulas for the use of this sauce; this is an excellent showcase of marketing on the packaging, with more and more housewives The favor. As global companies increasingly focus on environmental sustainability and expand consumer education at the same time, reducing food waste and reducing the use of packaging materials are becoming a growing trend in the packaging world.

â—† Sani-StakTM lunch box (GoToContainers, USA)

GoToContainers won the Silver Award at the 28th DuPont Packaging Innovation Award for its Sani-StakTM lunchbox for its contribution to promoting food safety and consumer convenience, as well as reducing the use of plastic bags. This innovative patented design structure allows the packaging to be folded and stacked, allowing consumers to carry their meals in a safer and healthier way, reducing the risk of contamination and improving the quality of the product; therefore, the packaging demonstrates enhanced user experience. Excellence.

A nested system locks two, three, or more lunchboxes in place. When folded and stacked, the lunch box does not slide off the other container; a plurality of lunch boxes can be stacked on top of another lunch box and can be inclined at an angle of 60 degrees or more.

This innovative design uses two eco-friendly materials (PET and bagasse) and the lunch boxes are interchangeable. The cups for laying souffle and dressing are placed at the top of the box instead of with the rice. The raised bottom of the box is designed to facilitate the removal of water vapor from fried foods, which can make chicken wings or fried foods crisper than traditional bento boxes. What makes this packaging concept unique is that the lunch box is not limited to a flip lid lunch box, but can also be integrated for use in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials of lunch boxes, thereby creating a variety of The product mix makes it suitable for hot and cold meals.
