A German design student Sabine Zits has joined forces with Innovia Films to create new crisp packs, in a bid to promote renewable packaging materials.
Innovia Films helped Sabine Zits, an undergraduate at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, by providing her samples of its NatureFlex product range of materials from renewable resources.
Sabine created the new packs in collaboration with several partners, such as Intersnack, the brand owner of the German, funny-frisch potato chip brand, while the NatureFlex films were laminated by Allflex and printed using a machine at the University of Stuttgart.
Sabine said, "I decided to show designers what is already possible for packaging by having some real life samples of potato chips (crisps) made up with a clear renewability message."
The renewable biobased content of NatureFlex films is typically 95% by weight of material, according to ASTM D6866.
The films offers advantages for packing and converting and possess inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, gloss and resistance to grease and oil, good barrier to gases, aromas and mineral oils and a wide heat-seal range.
