Sonoco Honored With FPA Gold Award For Daisy Sour Cream Pouch
The Flexibles division of Sonoco, one of the largest global diversified packaging companies, has been recognized with a Gold Achievement Award from the Flexible Packaging Association for its high-performance film laminate contributions to the Daisy Sour Cream squeezable pouch, which was developed in collaboration with Daisy Brand, Aptar (dispensing closure & fitment) and Continuum (innovation design).
“By leveraging insights into how consumers use sour cream as both a topping and an ingredient, along with expertise in materials, lamination processes, dispensing fitments, market research and design, this collaborative team was able to deliver a new package that not only protects the high quality of the contents, but also solves multiple functional consumer challenges,” said Pete Gioldasis, director of marketing, Sonoco. “It differentiates the brand on the shelf, while meeting production efficiency requirements.”
The Flexible Packaging Association has conducted the annual Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards competition since 1956 to showcase the industry's innovation and the advances that have changed packaging, and it remains among the most respected in the industry. This year, from a total of 164 entries, 19 packages were honored with 20 Achievement Awards. Winners and entrants are featured in the 2016 FPA Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards & Innovation Showcase.
