Dow Diamond finalist is a one-step form/fill technology

A ground-breaking technology that forms and fills bottles in one step using incompressible, consumable liquid, is recognized as a Diamond finalist in Dow’s Awards for Packaging Innovation.

A triple threat, Amcor Rigid Plastics’ LiquiForm® game-changing form/fill technology offers consumers higher efficiency, superior container quality, and greater sustainability versus traditional bottle blow-molding and liquid-filling processes. That’s according to Ashish Saxena, Vice President and General Manager of Amcor 360 Packaging Solutions, a service of Amcor Rigid Plastics, whose LiquiForm technology was selected as a Diamond finalist in The Dow Chemical Company’s 2018 30th Awards for Packaging Innovation.

Since 2014, The LiquiForm Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcor Rigid Plastics, has been making news for its work on LiquiForm technology, which uses consumable liquid instead of compressed air to simultaneously form and fill a container. Combining bottle manufacturing and liquid filling into one step, LiquiForm eliminates the need for blow-molding equipment and air pressure systems—a sea change that not only results in a container with superior material distribution properties, but also offers the potential for a completely new and more streamlined supply chain for liquid products.
