Food Packaging: Innovation and style shine at AmeriStar Awards
The Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) announced its 1999 AmeriStar award winners at the 1999 AmeriStar Package Awards during WestPack.
Award winners in the food category included a polyester-coated convolute paperboard canister developed by Paper Machinery Corporation for the McVitie’s cookie line from United Biscuit. The new nine-inch tall container that replaces the previous film overwrap gives the package oxygen and moisture barrier properties and provides easier opening, closing and product removal. The Rhino Muscle Pack bag-in-box container from Custom Packaging Systems was also a winner in the food category. The Muscle Pack addresses cost, storage, shipping, handling and environmental concerns through the innovative use of proprietary film technology.
