Austin, TX-based Ana’s Foods has become the first company in North America to utilize IPL’s SkinnyPack™ Technology container, using it to package their latest fresh salsa, Ana’s Salsa Restaurant Style. SkinnyPack is a thin, yet strong packaging technology that fuses a flexible, printable film to a sturdy, rigid frame.

According to IPL, SkinnyPack is environmentally friendly due to the reduced use of plastic when compared to standard plastic food containers, and is 100% recyclable. By using the container, Ana’s Foods will reduce their use of plastic by 50%, contributing significantly to their sustainability efforts. Additionally, the use of IML high-definition graphics will create greater shelf appeal for the salsa product.
