“In 2024, we delivered more sustainable innovations than ever,” said Hesam Tabatabaei, senior vice president of global product development and innovation at ProAmpac. “Our commitment to advancing high-performance recyclable packaging is evident in our expanded ProActive Sustainability® portfolio, while smart and active packaging comprises the new ProActive Intelligence™ platform. These advancements enhance convenience and product protection without sacrificing performance.”

Showcasing Key Breakthroughs

• Fiberization of Packaging™: ProAmpac introduces its patent-pending recyclable high-barrier thermoformable FibreSculpt and thermal/chilled insulated FiberCool bag to its fiber-based packaging portfolio. In addition, the award-winning ProActive Recyclable RP-1000 platforms offer curbside recyclable heat-sealable fiber alternatives to traditional film-based packaging, further advancing the company's paper-based recyclable offerings.
• Sustainable Film Expansion: New patented large format QUADFLEX Recyclable LFQ and ProActive Recycle Ready Retort RT-4000 round out ProAmpac’s sustainable packaging offerings in the pet food market, providing mono-material options for every packaging format. In addition, ProAmpac has commercialized post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging for consumer-packaged goods (CPGs), further solidifying its leadership toward a circular economy.
• ProActive Intelligence™: Smart packaging is transforming how packaging acts on products or interacts with consumers, and ProAmpac has revolutionized this space in 2024 with the introduction of ProActive Intelligent Moisture Protect MP-1000. This patent-pending breakthrough technology is designed to tackle moisture control without desiccant sachets. It leverages 3-Phase Activ-Polymer™ technology by Aptar’s CSP Technologies to remove moisture from the headspace of moisture-sensitive products such as probiotic stick packs, diagnostics, and hygroscopic powders. The technology leads to longer shelf life, improving product quality/texture by avoiding clumping and being able to pack formulations previously unattainable with traditional materials.
• E-Commerce Automation: ProAmpac’s auto-bag and fan-fold bag technology enhance efficiency in high-volume e-commerce and industrial applications. These bags are specifically designed for automated systems, ensuring seamless integration and streamlined performance in fulfillment processes.
• Grocery & Retail Developments: New products, including FiberCool, rotisserie chicken RotiBag, ProActive Fresh Tray FT-1000, and Freshpack food-to-go offerings highlight ProAmpac's growth in the grocery and food retail sectors. The booth will also feature Just Baked’s newest kiosk, Just Baked Smart, utilizing ProAmpac’s RAP food-to-go packaging solutions.

“We invite attendees to Booth S-3583 at PACK EXPO 2024 to experience how ProAmpac is shaping the future of sustainable packaging and supporting our customers’ packaging goals,” said Kristy Paulin, executive vice president of global marketing for ProAmpac. “Stop by to see our latest innovations in action and enjoy a hot snack from the Just Baked kiosk.” For more information or to set up a meeting, contact Marketing@ProAmpac.com or visit ProAmpac.com.
