Standing Out in the Crowd
To help differentiate their brands, many companies are taking advantage of the growing focus on sustainability.
BlisterGuard® from Illinois-based Colbert Packaging also competes against the PET/PVC clamshell market. It uses heat-sealable, tear-resistant paperboard from International -Paper, laminated with multi-layer high-strength film from Valéron Strength Films. The paperboard uses a fold-over design to trap a plastic blister pack inside. According to Colbert Packaging, BlisterGuard is recyclable and can reduce the use of petroleum-based plastic by up to 70 percent in similar packages. It won Paperboard Packaging Council’s (PPC) 2005 Innovation Award and the 2007 Governor of Illinois’s Sustainable Technology Award.
