In a world where many cost-conscious consumers buy food in bulk, the ability to confidently reclose packages to keep food fresh is critical to prevent food waste. A new packaging solution from Bemis Co. using DuPont materials is one recent, award-winning packaging solution that can contribute to reducing some of the 1.3 million tons of food that is lost or wasted around the world annually.

Bemis Co. recently developed the BelGioioso Mild Provolone packaging solution using DuPont Selar PA and DuPont Bynel in a resealable package. The package is made up of two individually sealed compartments. This transformational package provides consumer convenience by allowing the user to easily peel and reseal the package 20 times or more with fingertip pressure. The package is also perforated, which allows the consumer to easily separate the two compartments without using a knife or scissors.

Bemis’ SmartTack EZ Peel Reseal technology allows the individual cheese compartments to be sealed separately, preserving the freshness of the unused portion until opening, and significantly reducing waste—all while creating differentiation at the club store level for BelGioioso Cheese.
