- Won World star award for packaging – Recyclable bag for Tuna & Shrimp
December 2021
- Won World star award for packaging – Recyclable bag for Tuna & Shrimp
After much research and development, our R&D team was able to develop a solution by way of eliminating the regularly used 12 Micron Polyester layer by replacing same with a specially extruded blend of 25 Micron PE that would have the same functions as Polyester. This layer was laminated on a 60 Micron clear Polyethylene Film (as against the usual 80 Micron PE required) facilitating some down gauging on the total blend. This blend didnt compromise the heavy duty seal which ensured the sea food product was in good order during heavy transit to New Zealand. The product looked attractive with better gloss on the shelf and last longer periods of time in line or better than the regular product.
