The 2019 PAC Canadian Leadership Awards celebrate craftmanship in brand package design and innovation with a vision to showcase the power of packaging.

About The Pack

Fine loose tea packaging requires a multilayer, co-extruded package to protect the product’s natural oils / volatile compounds which provide tea leaves a smooth flavor, anyway most barrier films are not easily broken down and recycled. The new zip lock pouch uses an EVOH barrier, combined with Dow’s Retain resin technology to allow the multilayer film to be 100% recyclable.
