Discover how the innovative partnership with industry leaders is setting new standards for recyclability and efficiency.

We are highlighting our collaboration with stellar partners who are as committed as we are to co-create better and more sustainable packaging solutions for our customers and the world. Through working together, Hoffer Plastics (spouts), Dow (plastic resin), HPM (converter), and Mespack (packaging machinery), are on the cusp of finalizing a flexible pouch packaging solution that enables the use of sustainable resin closures with recyclable mono layer film. From the beginning, we have worked as a collaborative team, sharing knowledge, experience, and the commitment to doing whatever it takes to create solutions that will benefit our customers and the environment.

Although each partner has brought their unique perspectives and areas of expertise to the project, the true key enabling us to move forward successfully has been full collaboration with a spirit of open communication and trust, despite cultural, time zone, and language challenges. Be on alert for a full write-up on this project once results are finalized this summer. In the meantime, here is a short video to give you an insight into the power of effective partnerships.

Emphasizing the Collaboration

As the industry moves towards more sustainable solutions with mono materials, collaboration has become essential, and is driven by the customers’ demand for eco-friendly packaging. Consumers deeply care about the environment; our goal is to provide packaging that can be reused and recycled. We are excited to bring to the marketplace a solution that is not only functional, but also inspires the next wave of sustainable packaging innovation.

In a recent test with Hoffer Plastics, Dow, HPM, and Mespack, we discussed the importance of this collaboration to achieve the best solutions for the customer. We concluded with the following:

  • Industry Trends: As we transition to mono-material recyclable packaging, the collaboration among partners has been crucial. We are currently addressing the conversion of non-recyclable multi-material packaging into recyclable mono-material solutions. This effort is driven by new market requirements and the collective expertise of our partners.
  • Shared Knowledge and Innovation: Each partner contributes their expertise to tackle specific challenges. Dow brings new resins to the table, ensuring that the packaging delivers the required performance and performs at the desired speed. Hoffer Plastics provides innovative closure solutions, while HPM focuses on material compatibility and sourcing challenges. Mespack’s role is pivotal, as we provide the machinery that brings these solutions to life.
  • State-of-the-art Technology: Blending the Best from Each Partner for a Pioneering Sustainable Solution, in this regard:
    • Dow, a pioneer in innovative resins for recyclable flexible packaging, provides the material with excellent barrier properties that protect products from moisture and oxygen. These resins offer a perfect balance of flexibility and durability, ensuring strong and user-friendly packaging.
    • Furthermore, HPM complements this with advanced technology that converts these resins into high-quality, eco-friendly films, meeting the highest industry standards for performance and recyclability. Additionally, Hoffer’s P-15 closure, a low melt spout to help with mono PE film compatibility, which uses 46% less plastic than its predecessor.
    • Last but not least, the Mespack H180FE machine epitomizes versatility and compact design. This equipment produces medium-sized flat and stand-up pouches with various applicator options, achieving capacities up to 1,500 c.c. and can be adapted to include up to four filling stations. This adaptability enhances flexibility and offers comprehensive packaging solutions, embodying the synergy of our state-of-the-art technologies.

The Importance of Sustainable Packaging

Creating a product that avoids landfills and contributes to a sustainable future is a priority for Mespack. The evolving requirements from governments worldwide necessitate that we maintain a position of superiority in regard to providing our customers with innovative solutions. The demand for sustainable and circular packaging is growing, and our continuous development of films and packaging solutions is in response to this movement.

As the video highlights, sustainable packaging innovation not only demands time, but also requires long-term goals and commitment. With the dedication and collaboration of our partners, we are confident in delivering the best solutions to our customers.

Looking Forward

We believe that the power of partnerships is key to driving forward sustainable packaging solutions. At Mespack, we are dedicated to leading this charge by leveraging our expertise of over 30 years in the market, as is demonstrated with our innovative machinery, such as the H180FE, and our strong collaborations with partners, including Hoffer Plastics, Dow, and HPM. Together, we are committed to creating packaging solutions that not only meet current demands, but also pave the way towards a more sustainable future.

Stay tuned for the new flexible pouch packaging solution that will be forthcoming. In the meantime, enjoy the video that showcases the effectiveness of our partnerships. Let’s continue working together to achieve new heights in packaging innovation and sustainability.
