Last summer, Land O’Frost’s further innovated its packaging with the addition of the ZIP-PAK® DoubleZip™ press-to-close solution for its Premium, Deli Shaved, Canadian Bacon, Bistro Favorites, and Sub Sandwich Kit product lines.

Says Land O’Frost vice president of marketing Stephan Williams, “Incorporating the DoubleZip for such a large portion of meat, particularly our one-pound Premium line, was an ideal way to decrease the carbon footprint of our packaging, while reducing food waste. This satisfies our consumers, as they are more concerned with the environmental impact of their purchasing decisions than ever before.”

To assess the environmental impact of both resealable flexible pouches and rigid polypropylene tub alternatives, Zip -Pak recently commissioned a study from an independent research firm. The study found that deli meat pouches had significantly lower energy consumption, solid waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions than the rigid tub alternative.
