Planting soil bag stands out with UV printing

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

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.”
