Amcor, a global expert in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announces the launch of AmSecure™ thermoformed trays and rollstock, part of the HealthCare™ portfolio. AmSecure™ is a next-generation packaging solution engineered to meet the demanding needs of the healthcare industry. It is less expensive than other materials while maintaining comparable performance and enhancing supply chain efficiencies.
AmSecure™ is a proprietary APET-based solution that delivers comparable performance to PETG. The switch to APET maintains clarity, durability and sterilization compatibility, while offering a cost-effective and more sustainable alternative compared to PETG. AmSecure™ is designed for medical and pharmaceutical applications and maintains excellent dimensional stability compatible with standard sterilization methods.
AmSecure™ was designed to accept numerous raw material supply options with multiple qualified raw materials, providing robust supply chain continuity. This helps ensure consistency of supply and long-term reliability for healthcare customers.
“AmSecure™ represents a significant advancement in healthcare packaging by delivering APET-based thermoformed solutions that match the mechanical and visual performance of PETG, while offering cost efficiency and a path towards recyclability,” said Art Castro, vice president of Amcor Flexibles Healthcare in North America. “The Amcor solution meets the critical needs of customers without compromising production and line performance.”
In addition to its performance and economic advantages, AmSecure™ is certified to meet or exceed the voluntary requirements for APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), highlighting AmSecure™ as a more sustainable choice for forward-thinking healthcare brands.
The addition of AmSecure™ is part of Amcor’s broader commitment to innovation and operational excellence. The launch follows the expansion of thermoforming capacity at the Oshkosh, Wisconsin facility, delivering scalable production to meet growing market demand. The AmSecure™ platform will also be supported by a full range of compatible lids and pouches, offering a complete portfolio solution for healthcare applications.
