This is a carton developed by adding a advertising function to the conventional “DIET BOX”. The package features a body bulging prevention properties and is excellent in eye-catching effect due to the chamfered corners. A perforated line is provided to open from the center of the long side to the top face for enhanced openability at a store and the lid can be folded to be used as a signboard.

Bericap has developed a new 2-piece sports closure, allowing a 2-colour look with a transparent PP shell and a coloured HDPE pourer section. The new sports closure is designed with a tear strip, offering tamper evidence functionality for the over-cap, but it will also be available as bridge-only - just break the bridges by moving the over-cap upward with the thumb.  The reactive Double Galileo hinge allows an opening angle of 180° - the over-cap no longer comes into contact with the cheeks.

Cargill is offering EZ Peel packaging for ground beef chubs in retail stores. The technology was developed by Bemis Company Inc. which is a global supplier of flexible packaging. It will be exclusively used for Cargill's ground beef 1-lb. chubs, which is tube-shaped packaging typically recognized for its easy-to-store benefits.

It is also economical, freezer-ready and conveniently portioned.

The label is constructed using a standard narrow web flexo printing press and incorporates Insignia Technologies patented colour changing indicator film; the process is therefore very easily scalable. The removal of a tab on the top of the label brings the active components into contact with each other and initiates a colour change.

Labels can be customized to have the colour change take place over a variety of different time periods, ranging from one to two days, up to a maximum of six weeks under refrigerated conditions.
