We were granted a gold award in the category 'Packaging Excellence' for our know-how in contour perforation technology applied on Emmi's Käsplättli cheese pack. The innovative packaging format consists of a tray with four cavities, each filled with a different type of individually portioned cheese, and is sealed with a lidding film from Amcor Flexibles. Thanks to Amcor's expertise in contour perforation, consumers can enjoy the ultimate convenience of either peeling open the complete pack or, if they want a single piece only, push one individual cavity open and pick the cheese bite they crave for.

Furthermore, we received a silver award, also in the category 'Packaging Excellence', for Kerry Food's Cheestrings Shots packed in Amcor Stickpack. The pack features a child-friendly easy opening which has been achieved by applying micro-perforation on the top of the pack. Consumers simply have to shake the pack, tear it open and shoot the Cheestrings Shots straight into their mouths. The pack combines high barrier properties with easy-opening and allows the consumption directly from the pack.

"We are very proud of our double success at the FPA awards. Both packaging solutions respond to the unique requirements of our customers and provide the consumers with value added opening solutions. I would like to dedicate these awards to our sales teams and our co-workers at Amcor Flexibles Burgdorf," says Philippe Scherrer, Market Director at Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas.
