New Packaging Technology Achieves FDA Approval for Food & Beverage Applications
Performance Packaging of Nevada, a worldwide innovative supplier of flexible packaging, packaging machinery and folding cartons, has received authorization from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for its AIRSHIELD™ technology for direct food and beverage contact applications. The AIRSHIELD™ process is designed to remove oxygen from rigid and flexible packages such as pouches and packages containing fitments or solid closures. AIRSHIELD™ provides greater efficiencies of (1) oxygen removal and volume levels, (2) saving money and (3) is self-triggering once package-filling begins.
In development for three years, AIRSHIELD™ will be available to food and beverage processors and packagers during the first quarter of 2018. Early licensing, now in effect, will provide AIRSHIELD™ customers with certain exclusivities for use of the patent-pending technology.
