Flexible Packaging Association Award

The Flexible Packaging Association Honored Beacon’s Die Cut Insert tray with two awards during its annual meeting, the Gold Award for Environmental and Sustainability Achievement and the Gold Award for Technical Innovation.  The flexible packaging solution is cut out of a single 0.035-in. sheet of 100% recyclable HDPE. Tray sidewalls are formed during the loading process, using tabs along the tray’s length to maintain its shape.  The result is a tray that uses 32% less packaging material and 50% less weight than a thermoformed tray.
