Flexible packaging manufacturer Bemis has released a new recloseable, resealable packaging solution using materials from chemical giant DuPont.
Bemis developed the SmartTack EX Peel Reseal technology for Wisconsin-based cheese producer BelGioioso’s mild provolone cheese. The resealable packaging comprises two individually sealed compartments and provides consumers with the confidence that they can easily continually peel and reseal the packaging, preserving the freshness of the produce inside.
The package is perforated to allow the consumer to easily separate the two compartments without using a knife or scissors. The closure can be resealed 20 or more times with no more than fingertip pressure, and the two companies have claimed that the development could substantially help to lower levels of food wastage.
DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers global packaging relationship manager Yasmin Siddiqi said: “High-performance materials add value to packaging in many ways, but especially in protecting food and keeping food fresher and more appealing longer. As the packaging industry converges on this global issue, more and more solutions like this resealable system will be required.”
