Food Packaging

Splash Beverage Group of Fort Lauderdale, FL, drew attention in 2021 with the introduction of Pulpoloco Sangria packaged in CartoCan paper can packaging.

The line of three alcohol-containing products aseptically packaged and imported from Europe is available in smooth red, soft rosé, and crisp white. The 250 mL/8.45-ounce paper cans feature an energetic packaging design in a format that's unique in look and feel. 

From now on, Jan Oskam trading company can offer a '4 pack' (73mm+). "With this, we target small households who want to spend a little more on convenience. These one or two-person homes prefer good, fresh apples that will last a week. Pre-packaged in paper, this packaging doesn't cause unwanted pollution. It also prevents people from grabbing apples off the shelf and thus prevents product loss. The cashiers need no stickers, and the margins are excellent."

The Rocket closure’s highly innovative design was born from consumer studies and insights to meet many uncovered market needs, which attracted Ferrero to partner with Aptar for their new Estathé packaging.

“Partnering with Ferrero in the development of this new generation of Aptar’s sports caps has been beneficial for both parties,” said Andrea Pepe, sales manager for Aptar Closures. “Aptar provided technical support during line trials at Ferrero plant, while Ferrero provided valuable insights that Aptar utilized to further improve the closure design and functionalities.”

Paper is a highly sought-after raw material worldwide, but its production requires a lot of water and energy. Grass-paper offers an innovative alternative. The material has up to 30 percent lower CO2 emissions in its production compared to normal paper and cardboard. The grass grows without the use of fertilizers on ecological compensation areas, often in the immediate vicinity of the respective paper mill. Grass-paper board consists of 40 percent pulp, which is obtained from grass. The remaining 60 percent pulp comes from FSC-certified forests.
