Amcor Introduces New Bag-in-Box Liner Developed to Enhance the Protective Barrier Around Cereals

Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas (AFEA) proudly introduces the new Amcor Vodex, a bag-in-box liner developed to enhance the protective barrier around cereals.

Oct 27 2010 --- This product innovation for the cereals market was developed as a result of the rising interest of cereal manufacturers to guard against potential migration of volatiles into products from carton board, inks or the external environment.

Amcor Vodex is a co-extruded cereal liner with an integral barrier to hydrocarbon based volatiles. This next-generation cereal liner not only helps to reduce the migration of certain volatiles from recycled or printed board cartons, but also helps to retain the product’s flavor and aroma resulting in an improved consumer experience on opening the pack.

"As part of AFEA’s ongoing patented film technology we developed Amcor Vodex in response to increased focus on food protection in the cereal market," says David Humes, Business Unit Manager - Extrusion, Amcor Flexibles Cumbria. "Cereal manufacturers in the UK and Europe have already started to use Amcor Vodex to pack significant quantities of their products with great success," he continued.

"With our long history and experience of working in the bag-in-box cereal market, Amcor Vodex represents another targeted innovation designed specifically to meet the needs of our customers." added David Humes.
