“Holiday Santas” and “United We Stand” are two of the first postage issues manufactured by MACtac since receiving US Post Office qualification. The material constructions had to meet rigorous performance requirements set by the Postal Service including water removability, repulpability, and phosphor levels consistent in providing a high caliber postage stamp.

Bemis is bringing innovation to its paper bag product line through the use of high performance papers and unique package design which increases package filling rates, reduces product loss, and improves handling and logistics for customers.


 

Our proprietary ICE® film coextrusion technology delivers superior memory retention, gloss, and clarity for premium food products. Specialty resins are incorporated into the film to ensure excellent seal integrity on high speed packaging equipment.


 

Bemis is the leading provider of chunk cheese packaging in North America. We use proprietary film structures designed to provide a reliable seal and extend the product shelf life. Our barrier shrink film is also ideal for chunk cheese sizes that are too large for regular packaging lines.

 

Material science is the foundation of our business. Using our extensive knowledge of plastic and plastic resins, film structure, paper characteristics, adhesive coatings, and extrusion and coating manufacturing processes, we focus our efforts on finding the right combination of materials to maximize product performance.

In our flexible packaging business segment, our high barrier and polyethylene product lines are vertically integrated. We buy a variety of plastic resins from which we create proprietary film structures. This significantly improves our cost structure as well as our ability to provide the market with our own proprietary products. We custom design film packages to meet the special needs of each customer application, protecting the contents of the package and incorporating convenience features that are in high demand from consumers. Our paper packaging products incorporate specialty papers and unique valve features to deliver package characteristics that bring innovation to the market, improve performance and reduce cost.

In our pressure sensitive materials business, we seek out film, paper and adhesive products with specific characteristics that combine with our lamination processes to create unique, superior products in niche markets.

Bemis’ market innovation is supported by a talented team of technical personnel, including chemical, process, mechanical and electrical engineers, chemists, and product development experts. These people are problem solvers, working directly with product teams to develop unique film structures that meet the packaging needs of our customers. Development of new products is carried out primarily on our production equipment, not in small-scale pilot plants, so solutions are tested with real production variances and tolerances and can be quickly moved to market. Our technical teams also interact with our customers’ technical and manufacturing personnel in their manufacturing plants to provide service and technical support.

We believe that through Bemis’ focus on technology and innovation, we can provide unique solutions for our customers and give both Bemis and our customers a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
