This award underscores the companys commitment to innovative packaging, sustainability, and excellence.

EcoPeelCover: The thinnest lidding solution with superior puncture resistance
EcoPeelCover is designed to be as thin as possible while maintaining the high standards of mechanical properties found in standard die-cut lids. It significantly enhances material and energy efficiency by reducing aluminum thickness to 25µm and extrusion coating to 13 grams/m²—down from the previous 38µm thickness and 24 grams/m² coating layer. This represents a 25% reduction in aluminum thickness and a 50% reduction in coating layer. Despite its reduced thickness, EcoPeelCover matches standard die-cut lids in puncture resistance, corrosion resistance, and peelability. It provides optimal protection against water vapor and oxygen, making it an excellent barrier for preserving the quality of dairy products.
