Kraft Macaroni and CheeseKraft Food and Cello FoilKraft Foods recently changed the packaging format for its 12 and 15-pack bundles by replacing a shrink film, to improve appearance and eliminate loading problems due to skewed bundles, with ExxonMobil Chemical’s Bicor® AB-X film.

The Bicor film’s excellent printability allows Kraft to wrap its large multi-packs with special promotional graphics. In addition, Kraft enjoys outstanding shelf appearance due to excellent optical properties, improved performance on press and strong seal strength that keeps the multi-pack bundles tightly together.

Hershey Milk Chocolate and Milk Chocolate with Almonds

Hershey Foods and Bemis Company

When Hershey Foods decided to replace foil/paper/tissue packaging on its world-famous milk chocolate bars, it did so with four main goals: increase visibility on the store shelf, distinguish the two bars (with almonds and without), improve product freshness, and bolster tamper protection. A structure of two ExxonMobil Chemical films – Bicor® 75 CSR-2 and Metallyte™ 50 TSPM – met all objectives.

The treated surface of CSR-2 gave the package an excellent platform for demanding graphics. Hershey and Bemis took advantage of the brilliant metal appearance of the TSPM by leaving unprinted areas for the metal to show through on the finished package. The new film-based structure employs cold seal technology, a feature not supported by the previous package. The cold seal ensures the freshness of the Hershey bar and it makes the product much more tamper evident.
