Amcor is a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions across a variety of materials for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, home and personal-care, and other products.
It works with companies around the world to protect their products and the people who rely on them, differentiate brands, and improve supply chains through a range of flexible and rigid packaging, speciality cartons, closures, and services. The company is focused on making packaging that is increasingly lighter weight, recyclable and reusable, and made using an increasing amount of recycled content. In fiscal year 2023, 41,000 Amcor people generated US$14.7 billion in annual sales from operations that span 218 locations in 41 countries.
Most recently, the company collected eight Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards for innovative and sustainable contributions to the industry. These included its Dual Function Frozen Yogurt Package, which received three awards: Gold for Technical Innovation, and Silver for Expanding the Use of Flexible Packaging, and Packaging Excellence.
Amcor and Gualapack Brasil developed this innovative yogurt pouch that allows consumers to choose between two usage options for a fun and convenient experience. The packaging can be refrigerated and opened by the spout for consumption of the creamy product, or frozen and opened by a laser perforation in the bottom of the pouch for an icy Danoninho treat.
