Food Packaging: First class packages take DuPont Awards
Pet food and pasta products were the leaders of the pack at the 15th annual DuPont Awards held August 9 in Philadelphia. Thirteen international food and non-food packaging innovations were honored in a tough competition year marked by a high level of consumer-pleasing and technological breakthroughs.
In an unprecedented move, an independent judging panel deemed two packages worthy of the top honor. The Diamond award was presented to Tetra Pak for the first retortable carton packaging system for Nestle Pet Food and to Cryovac for oxygen scavenging lidding film for longer shelf-life for Nestle® Buitoni® fresh pasta.
