AeroFlexx, an industry leader in sustainable liquid packaging, has announced that it is the first all-in-one liquid packaging solution to receive the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use® Certification. The certification marks a significant milestone for the packaging industry and reinforces AeroFlexx’s leading position as a packaging solution that brings together accessibility, sustainability, operational efficiency and a preferred consumer experience.

The Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use® Certification identifies products and packaging that are rigorously tested and proven easier to use for people living with arthritis and chronic pain and, in general, everyone. Earning the certification requires a structured evaluation process, including independent expert review, lab analysis and human factors testing with people living with arthritis. The process is designed to confirm that packaging is easier to grip, open and operate while reducing joint strain and pain.

“The strongest packaging innovations create value for brands and consumers at the same time,” said Andrew Meyer, CEO of AeroFlexx. “This certification validates the AeroFlexx approach, proving that a better consumer experience, sustainability progress and scalable performance can all come together in one packaging format.”

AeroFlexx’s proprietary packaging technology turns inclusive design into a practical everyday advantage. The AeroFlexx Pak is a lightweight flexible liquid package engineered to act like a rigid bottle, combining the best attributes of flexible and rigid formats in an all-in-one solution. It is designed to be easier to open, handle and use for people living with arthritis and reduced hand strength. Consumers tear off a tab, squeeze to dispense and benefit from the self-sealing valve that helps keep the package clean between uses. The format supports control, clean dispensing, plastic reduction, shipping efficiency and differentiated shelf presence.

For consumer-packaged goods companies, ease of use extends beyond mechanics. It shapes the full consumer experience, from first interaction to repeat purchase. By receiving this certification, AeroFlexx gives brands a credible third-party signal that accessibility can support commercial and sustainability priorities.

The announcement also aligns with Arthritis Awareness Month, observed each May, when the Arthritis Foundation and its partners raise awareness of arthritis and its impact on individuals, families, workplaces, and communities. With this certification, AeroFlexx advances a simple but increasingly important market principle: packaging that is easier for people with arthritis is often better for everyone. The certification reinforces AeroFlexx’s belief that the next generation of packaging should be easier to use, efficient to ship, clean to dispense and better for the planet.

AeroFlexx was recently named the winner of the 2026 Steve Fairfield Memorial Award for Flexible Packaging Innovation. The award will be presented later this week at Global Pouch Forum. To register, visit https://www.packagingstrategies.com/global-pouch-forum.
