Cryovac Multi-Seal FoldLOK Package Finalist for IDFA Packaging Innovations Award

The Multi-Seal FoldLOK package utilizes robust adhesive technology, allowing consumers of all ages to easily and reliably open and reclose the package multiple times without needing to completely remove the top or use zippers.

Oct 14 2011 --- The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) honored Sealed Air’s Cryovac Packaging Systems as a finalist for the 2011 Packaging Innovations Award for the design of its Multi-Seal FoldLOK shredded cheese package. The award ceremony was held on Sept. 21, at the 2011 International Dairy Show in the Georgia World Congress Center.

The package takes convenience to the next level with a reclosable package designed with consumer convenience in mind. The Multi-Seal FoldLOK package utilizes robust adhesive technology, allowing consumers of all ages to easily and reliably open and reclose the package multiple times without needing to completely remove the top or use zippers. The result is a positive customer experience and reduction in packaging materials over current reclosable formats. Also, the product’s smaller package design allows retailers to display more product on the shelf, and results in sustainability benefits associated with a reduction in packaging materials.

“The selection of the Multi-Seal FoldLOK package as a finalist for the IDFA Packaging Innovations Award underscores the importance of increasing consumer convenience with innovative packaging technologies,” said Scott Bossong, director of dairy marketing for Sealed Air’s Cryovac Food Packaging. “Our Multi-Seal FoldLOK package is the latest example of our commitment to invest in the development of packaging solutions that enhance convenience at the consumer level while simultaneously delivering benefits to retailers and processors.” The first annual IDFA Innovations Awards honored six innovative technologies in categories including food safety, ingredient/flavoring/seasoning/additives, packaging, processing, sustainability and the attendee choice award.
