Innovia blooms in flower bulb packaging

23 September 2011

A consortium of three Dutch flower bulb exporters has chosen Innovia's NatureFlexNVS compostable film for its product packaging.

The pouch pack for the range of flower bulbs is a tri- part lamination construction of NatureFlex NVS to paper and PLA, and was developed by Assen, Netherlands-based converting company, Hapece Flexible Packaging.

Hapece managing director Marius Draayer states: 'Our customers were looking for an attractive, quality pack that was eco friendly, innovative and would ensure the contents were clearly visible.

'From a converter's point of view, the addition of NatureFlex NVS to this application has also ensured that the pack can stand upright, due to the dead-fold properties and stiffness that it provides.'
