At the request of a major regional retailer, J&G Foods tested a 9-mil eco Plastic bottom web from Plantic and discovered it ran as well or better than the incumbent material. “We were impressed with the performance, particularly the extra shelf life and ease of processing,” says J&G Goods Maintenance Manager Wayne Morin.

“We take tremendous care to produce the highest quality products in the most efficient manner possible for our customer partners, and Plantic packaging helps us do that,” says Joe Piperato, J&G Foods President. “We believe in the benefits of this packaging and are exploring rolling it out to other customers.”
