PaperWorks’ Crest Complete HolobriteTM package receives PPC Eco Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 26, 2011, Baldwinsville, NY – The results from the 68th Annual National Paperboard Packaging Competition are in and PaperWorks’ Crest Complete HolobriteTM package has been awarded the 2011 Eco Award.
The PaperWorks HolobriteTM package stood out for its innovation and design while maintaining the package’s recyclable, biodegradable and compostable qualities. Typically, holographic effects are accomplished through the lamination of non-biodegradable PET onto boxboard, a process that renders the package non-recyclable. The PaperWorks HolobriteTM package is unique in that the company succeeded in maintaining the package’s sustainable qualities by micro-embossing a reflective coating onto CRB boxboard.
“Our industry is one of innovation and excellence. It is an honor to be recognized for a package design that not only stands out on the shelf, but that is in line with PaperWorks’ commitment to being environmentally conscious. The ECO Award recognizes our efforts to create packages that use paperboard to create more sustainable packaging,” says John Hartwell, Executive Vice President, Packaging Group.
The process used by PaperWorks is not only less costly to produce, but also eliminates the need for off-site lamination, thereby reducing transportation costs, energy expenditures while reducing raw material consumption.
