Easy-to-open and resealable packages, as well as flexible packaging designs that use less material and energy to produce, featured prominently among winners of the 57th annual Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards Competition, held earlier this year by the Flexible Packaging Association.
Twenty-nine flexible packaging companies supplied 78 entries in the competition, with 25 of the packages receiving 29 awards based on the design and ability to integrate consumer trends and needs with technical advancements in material, graphics, structure and sustainability. Food-related packaging applications comprised the lion’s share of winning entries. Flexible packages for medical products, laundry detergent, baby products and motor oil also took awards.
