Amcor introduces new hydro-cool carton

The new Amcor Hydro-ArmourTM carton, is submersible and will revolutionise the way hydro-cooled produce is packaged, replacing polystyrene foam boxes.

07/09/05 Amcor’s latest product innovation, the new Amcor Hydro-ArmourTM carton, is submersible and will revolutionise the way hydro-cooled produce is packaged, replacing polystyrene foam boxes.

The first product in the range to be released by Amcor is the Hydro-ArmourTM Bean Box. Utilising new water resistant paper/film laminate technology, the Hydro-ArmourTM Bean Box withstands the high moisture chilling environment of hydro-cooling, used to quickly reduce the field temperature of beans and other vegetables. Replacing styrofoam boxes with Hydro-ArmourTM delivers significant space savings and logistics efficiency with more beans per pallet and lower freight costs.

These new cartons eliminate the problem of polystyrene foam fragments being strewn across the floor and the attractive retail ‘display ready’ presentation will be a valuable addition to any retail store.

Hydro-ArmourTM is available in black for retail display, or printed to highlight brand products, and is also recyclable. This exciting new product is the latest example of Amcor’s commitment to delivering innovative packaging solutions to the fruit and produce sector.
