Amcor is currently developing a solution to take that optimized tubestock film and create pre-made pouches for our customers.  This new solution will still deliver material savings and improved sustainability, and is targeted towards cheese processors that don’t have the capability to produce bags in-line using tubestock.

Amcor also is working on a solution to take optimized tubestock film to create pre-made pouches, which will still deliver material savings and improved sustainability but is targeted toward cheese processors that don’t have the capability to produce bags in-line.

The Amcor ICE XP coextruded forming films are produced using a proprietary coextrusion process that delivers production efficiency, product protection and consumer appeal. ICE XP films deliver enhanced performance for deep and critical draw applications, including fresh Mozzarella balls and loaves. It also offers downgauging from heavier competitive films without compromising on performance, as it provides high puncture and abrasion resistance for difficult applications.
