ProAmpac unveils ProActive R-2200D easy-peel open packaging for snacks

ProAmpac, an American flexible packaging company, has unveiled its groundbreaking ProActive Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open Packaging, which is currently patent-pending.

This innovative packaging solution aims to enhance the snacking experience by providing consumers with a hassle-free and effortless opening process, thanks to its exceptional easy-peel sealant technology.

The Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open from ProAmpac is a high-performance, polyethylene-based film that is fully recyclable. It serves as a sustainable alternative to non-recyclable laminated structures commonly used in snack packagings, such as BOPP/BOPP, BOPP/Met BOPP, PET/peelable PE, and others.

Engineered specifically for high-speed form/fill/seal applications, the R-2200D film has already undergone pre-qualification for store drop-off recycling programs.

Adam Grose — ProAmpac chief commercial officer said: “R-2200D represents the latest addition to our ProActive Sustainability product family. This comprehensive range of packaging solutions empowers our customers to achieve their sustainable packaging goals.

“R-2200D, developed by ProAmpac’s material science team, seamlessly integrates with existing high-speed filling lines without impacting packing efficiencies.”

To cater to diverse product requirements, the ProActive Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open is available in three different oxygen and moisture barrier levels. This ensures that brand owners can select the ideal barrier option to suit their specific application needs.

Moreover, the packaging film is offered in a variety of finishes, including gloss, registered matte, or with ProAmpac’s Signature Surfaces, enabling brand owners to meet their desired graphic preferences.

ProAmpac’s introduction of the Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in the flexible packaging industry.

By providing a recyclable solution with convenient opening features, ProAmpac aims to support brand owners in meeting their packaging objectives while reducing environmental impact.

Amir Saffar — ProAmpac director of global sustainability innovation said: “R-2200D, like all ProAmpac R-2000 recyclable films, is engineered to deliver superior heat resistance on the outside and excellent peelable seal characteristics in the inside, making it perfect for high-speed filling operations. Additionally, R-2200D has very good clarity for optimal product visibility and is available in high puncture resistance to increase packaging durability.”
