Planting soil bag stands out with UV printing

Born in the Pacific Northwest, Whitney Farms makes "down-to-earth products for backyard farmers."

Organic Planting Soil

These include soil and mulch products, plant food, plant supplements, and plant care products, among others, formulated to support natural gardening practices. For its 28.3-L bag of Organic Planting Soil, Whitney Farms uses packaging that conveys its “one-with-the-earth” positioning, with beautifully-rendered plant graphics that pop with color and a matte overcoat that provides an organic look and feel. Provided by Trinity Packaging Corp., a division of ProAmpac, the bag was honored with a Gold Award for Technical Innovation as well as a Silver for Packaging Excellence by FPA judges.

The technical innovation represented by the bag is ProAmpac’s use of UV surface printing combined with a specially designed high-COF (coefficient of friction) matte overcoat. In addition, Trinity developed a proprietary energy curing process to protect the package against UV color degradation, which Trinity says (in the FPA entry form) “is key to shelf appeal.”
