Sealed Air’s Cryovac® Flavour Mark™ Pouch Wins 2007 Flexible Packaging Award

DUNCAN, S.C. (March 1, 2007) Sealed Air’s Cryovac Food Packaging garnered a top honor at this year’s Flexible Packaging Association Achievement Awards ceremony. The Cryovac® Flavour Mark™ pouch won a Gold Award in Technical Innovation for providing a better, more consistent flavor and texture in shelf-stable food than that packaged in #10 cans. The Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards were announced Feb. 28 at the association’s annual meeting.

Cryovac® Flavour Mark™ pouches provide processors and foodservice operators with numerous benefits when compared to #10 cans, including lower material costs, more efficient storage, safer handling, more efficient labor, and lower waste disposal costs. Pouches can hold anywhere from 16 to 128 ounces and offer nearly 100 percent product yield for foods such as chili with meat, stews, soups, vegetables and sauces

The flexible pouches are made with a high-performance, multi-layer, coextruded film for products that require thermal processing (250 degrees Fahrenheit) after packaging to achieve shelf stability. The film also provides secure, high-integrity seals to survive the rigors of rough handling during distribution.
