Bemis technology enables transparency for new stand-up pouch packaging

14 Jun 2018 --- Bemis Company has unveiled its latest innovation: Encore ultra-clear recyclable film. The film can be used to create see-through sections on stand-up pouch packaging. The technology combines readily recyclable material with shelf-appealing transparency, helping CPGs attract today’s consumers while achieving the sustainability goals of their businesses.

“CPGs can feel confident with Encore ultra-clear recyclable film; it can provide the clarity and transparency shoppers demand, and still run on most standard existing manufacturing equipment,” explains John Wilson, Market Manager.

In comparison with prior offerings, this new Bemis technology provides the advantages of a standard standup pouch, with the added benefit of improved recyclability. It can also incorporate convenience features, such as press-to-close zippers.

Encore ultra-clear recyclable film is made of polyethylene, which was designed to be recycled through existing How2Recycle store drop-offs. This technology offers benefits of low haze, good stiffness, and high gloss. Encore ultra-clear recyclable film is currently available across multiple markets, including dish detergent pods, pet food and treats, confection items and more.

Bemis in North America is part of Bemis Company, Inc., a global packaging company with 56 facilities and 16,000 employees worldwide. The company has a presence across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
