Amcor E-Close® receives prestigious Scanstar packaging award

The results were disclosed on November 3rd, 2011 during an award ceremony in Sandefjord, Norway. In addition to this important recognition, Amcor E-Close® is now automatically eligible for the global WorldStar packaging competition.

With E-Close®, Amcor Flexibles has developed a unique product range combining extensive know-how in pressure sensitive adhesives with state of the art laser micro perforation technology. Amcor E-Close® provides innovative opening and re-seal features, thus enabling a new positioning in the cheese market.

Arla Foods, dairy market leader in Sweden, chose the Amcor E-Close® lid for their sliced cheese range as consumers enjoy the easy to use features and appreciate the uncompromising protective qualities.

Amcor E-Close® was successfully tailor-made to meet Arla's needs in cooperation with Sealpac, a global leader in thermoforming equipment for modified atmosphere packaging.

As the industry leader, Amcor Flexibles partners with its customers seeking to respond to the evergrowing demand for more convenience and food safety. "We are delighted that Amcor E-Close® has been recognized by the Scanstar Expert jury for its originality, protective quality, cost efficiency, design and user friendliness. We would like to dedicate this award to our sales teams and our co-workers at Amcor Flexibles Burgdorf," says Philippe Scherrer, Marketing Director, Fresh, Dairy and Capsules, Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas.
