Duke's Mayonnaise and E-Z SnackPak Excel in
AmeriStar and WorldStar Award Competitions
(1888 PressRelease) Ampac, a division of
ProAmpac, has won an AmeriStar award for the
Duke's Mayonnaise 8 oz. Pouch, a shaped,
reclosable stand up pouch new to the mayonnaise
and condiment aisle utilizing clear, barrier
lamination for product protection. Ampac was also
recognized for its E-Z SnackPakTM win in the
WorldStar Awards Competition. The Duke's
Mayonnaise 8 oz. Pouch, a new package format for
the condiment aisle, provides easy to carry
convenience, product protection with less package
breakage, ease of dispensing, and differentiates
the brand with its unique shape. Its shape and
usage of the flexible billboard makes it stand
out on the shelf in this primarily rigid format
category. The flexible pouch provides a
sustainable improvement over the current rigid
formats by utilizing two-thirds less packaging by
weight and almost ninety five percent less by
volume over a similar rigid PET bottle. Product
loss is also improved with close to 100 product
evacuation and clean and easy directional
dispensing, minimizing consumer frustration with
failure to get all the product out of the
package. It also eliminates mess while trying to
reach into a rigid container to get the product
out. The fitment, the first commercial flip top
for liquid food flexible packaging, is easy to
use, clicks to an open position for enhanced
dispensing and flips closed without having to set
the cap down and apply it again as with most
traditional two piece fitments and caps. "This
food category award showcases the innovation and
creativity applied to the existing Duke's rigid
product. The Duke's Mayonnaise pouch is a
stand-out, category changer providing
differentiated design that will stand out on the
shelf and provides an enhanced consumer
experience with the product, " states Millie
Nuno, ProAmpac Director of Marketing. The Duke's
Mayonnaise pouch is now eligible to compete in
the WorldStar Awards sponsored by the World
Packaging Organization.
E-Z SnackPak by Ampac is a new packaging format
for the single-serve snack food market. The
tetrahedron shaped pouch transforms into a
serving tray upon opening - providing a unique
consumer experience.

The flexible pouch is an innovative category
changing package primarily focused on snacking
occasions. The tetrahedron shaped pouch stands
out on the shelf. E-Z SnackPak provides dual
functionality, first as an innovative package,
and second as a serving dish by uniquely
converting into a tray after opening. The
creative package offers unique and easy access to
product and uses up to 25 less packaging than a
comparable VFFS pouch. It also offers increased
product protection due to its unique
shape. ProAmpac's Sal Pellingra, Vice President
of Innovation and Technology, recently accepted
the WorldStar Award at the ceremony in Budapest,
Hungary. "We are really proud of the recognition
of the E-Z SnackPak pouch by the WorldStar
