The pouches are made by Amcor Flexibles Brazil and sent to Predilecta for filling. Other than saying the filling machine is rotary in nature, Predilecta isnβt saying much about the equipment or the speeds at which it runs. Secondary packaging is a corrugated case with a perforated tear-off top that makes it a Retail-Ready shipper.
What makes this container so notable is that itβs a replacement for the glass jar format that is traditionally used for such sauces. Yet the design, shape, and graphics of the pouch make its appearance on shelf perfectly consistent with the mason jar look of traditional sauce packaging. But where this package really shines is in how light it is. A Life Cycle Analysis conducted by SavvyPack determined that the Predilecta pouch represents a 97% weight reduction compared to a glass jar. Along with that impressive accomplishment comes a 77% reduction in energy consumption required and an 84% reduction in CO2e (CO2 equivalent) released.
