Innovia Films helped Sabine Zits by providing samples of its NatureFlex product range of materials from renewable resources. The NatureFlex films were laminated by Allflex and printed using a machine at the University of Stuttgart.
Sabine, an undergraduate at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, designed the new packs in association with partners such as Germany's Intersnack.
Sabine said, "I decided to show designers what is already possible for packaging by having some real life samples of potato chips (crisps) made up with a clear renewability message."
The renewable biobased content of NatureFlex films is typically 95% by weight of material, according to ASTM D6866.
The films feature inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, gloss and resistance to grease and oil, good barrier to gases, aromas and mineral oils and a wide heat-seal range.
