Bemis rotogravure printing and
in-line lamination capability provides the premium appearance this product deserves at a value our customers appreciate. The sophisticated three ply lamination construction with Bemis metalized materials adds barrier protection to keep the product tasting fresh.


 

This product is packaged using thermoformable laminates that are produced by our European flexible packaging operations. The package incorporates a seal that can be visually confirmed by its color and includes an easy peel feature that does not deform the thermoformed packaging on opening.


 

The side gusseted pillow package is quickly becoming the standard for quality in the frozen food section, as are these bright, delicious-looking graphics.


 

Working closely with Owens Corning research and development, Bemis used its proven expertise in adhesives to support the design of an innovative new insulation product. Vaporwick® is designed for use in high humidity conditions and utilizes a moisture resistant MACtac tape as a self-sealing feature.


 

The eye-catching graphics on this diaper package are used to market this product in Europe.


 

Bemis’ primary markets have consistently grown, even during times of economic weakness.

With over sixty-five percent of our products used in the food industry, and another ten percent for packaging consumer products like diapers and paper towels, one has only to stroll through the grocery store to witness the continuing growth of our business segments.

Bemis continues to introduce new flexible packaging designs promoting consumer convenience features and improved freshness. Each new package creates a wave of innovation that ripples through the aisles of the grocery store. Single serving sizes to meal kits, easy open and recloseable packages to stand up pouches, each customer's successful new packaging introduction can innovate an entire product category. Even when the package structure remains the same, new promotions and improved graphics catch the consumers’ attention. Some products have used flexible packaging for decades, while others have only recently made a change from a rigid container. The scene continues to change.

A small percentage of our business is dependent upon the industrial economy. For example, flexible packaging is used in applications such as mattress bags for the hotel industry, shingle overwrap for the housing industry, and paper packaging for minerals and chemicals. Our pressure sensitive materials business provides labels for all types of consumer products, including computers, tractors and toys. Our adhesive materials are used as fasteners in cell phones, autos and electronics. Our decorative products are used on billboards and for trade show displays. These markets have been depressed during the past year but as economic activity begins to increase, these markets should also provide new growth opportunities for the company.

Global modernization continues to provide opportunities for our operations in South America, Europe and Asia, as the need for improved food packaging increases demand for high barrier film structures. In addition, many of these markets need pressure sensitive materials for multilingual labels and advertising. Our strategic manufacturing operations in each of these regions provide us with excellent platforms from which to expand our marketing reach and, ultimately, our global market share.

This shuttle train between Malpensa airport and the center of Milan, Italy, is covered with MACtac special protective films to keep the decoration perfect and make graffiti removal easier.
