A standup pouch developed for Cadbury India, for its Eclairs Rich Brownie products, has won an AIMCAL Award for 2011. The Assn. of Intl. Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL) awarded the 3-ply BOPET/PE film laminate pouch the Marketing Award in the Food and Beverage category.
The packaging supplier-the UFLEX Group-was acknowledged by AIMCAL judges for creating a pouch with high graphic quality. They also noted that the package design and the use of metallization to deliver the gold color that really makes the product look rich. A member of the judges' panel remarked that "the graphics are mouth-watering".
The pouch is made from a three-ply BOPET film reverse printed by rotogravure/metalized BOPET film/PE film laminate. The pouch features a punched hole on the top seal for hanging display and also incorporates a press-to-close zipper as a recloseability convenience feature.
The central layer in the laminate structure is plasma metalized to significantly enhance the barrier properties of the composite laminate and this substantially extends the shelf-life of the packaged product.
