Graphic Packaging Makes Switching to Paperboard Packaging Even Easier with EnviroClip™ Duo

February 15, 2023

EnviroClip Duo

Leading paperboard consumer packaging innovator Graphic Packaging International (‘Graphic Packaging’) has launched a new addition to its EnviroClip™ multipack portfolio: EnviroClip™ Duo  

A paperboard clip-style multipack solution, EnviroClip Duo allows customers to create high-impact, high-performance two-packs of glass and plastic bottles and jars, eliminating the need for shrink wrap, flexible rings and rigid plastic dog-teeth rings. The concept is also suitable for three-pack and four-pack configurations in a single lane. 

Graphic Packaging’s design and innovation teams work closely with their customers to tailor the pack design to best accommodate the type and weight of the container it will carry through the supply chain – while keeping material use to a minimum. 

Steve Gould, director, business development, global beverage & multipacks at Graphic Packaging unveiled the new solution, saying, “Our customers tell us they need innovative thinking and operational efficiency in addition to plastic reduction within their multipack portfolio, enabling them to better respond to the fast-paced omnichannel market where they operate today. That’s why we’re delighted to add greater diversity to our clip-style packaging range so we can meet our customers’ needs across a wider range of markets including beverage, food, health and personal care. 

“The launch of EnviroClip Duo follows the introduction of EnviroClip Diamond, EnviroClip Beam and EnviroClip Bottles for the beverage segment in late 2022, so the range now accommodates an even greater range of applications and configurations in the non-beverage space.” 

EnviroClip Duo can be applied to jars and bottles at a range of speeds, from manual application to an automated machinery solution designed and manufactured by Graphic Packaging.  

Gould added, “Our focus is on solving customers’ packaging challenges by developing innovative solutions that support them in achieving their sustainability goals, provide greater operational efficiency, and appeal to consumers in design and functionality.” 

Graphic Packaging Extends Range of Sustainable Packaging Solutions for Beverage Industry With EnviroClip™

March 22, 2022

EnviroClip

Graphic Packaging International (‘Graphic Packaging’), the leading manufacturer of fiber-based consumer packaging solutions, has enhanced its range of sustainable multipack packaging for the beverage industry. In line with its commitment to ongoing product innovation in support of a more circular economy, the business has launched EnviroClip™ – a minimal material, paperboard alternative to plastic rings and shrink film for standard beverage cans.

“EnviroClip enables beverage companies to significantly increase sustainability by replacing plastic packaging for can multipacks with a recyclable and renewable solution,” explained Ricardo de Genova, SVP global innovation and new business at Graphic Packaging. “Its launch complements our KeelClip™ beverage can multipack solution and means we are now able to meet customer requirements across a full spectrum of different sized operations.”

The new Graphic Packaging solution is made from a single ply of paperboard, produced using renewable fiber from sustainably managed forests. No adhesive or plastic laminations are utilized in its construction.

EnviroClip employs equipment with a small footprint that can run at a range of speeds from manual application to high-speed automation. It can also be used alongside KeelClip for customers who want to employ different pack formats depending on production quantities or because they have a multi-tiered product strategy. The solution can be used for both 12-oz (330ml) and 16-oz (500ml) standard cans in four- and six-pack configurations. Graphic Packaging’s high-speed equipment features a proprietary custom overhead clipping system which delivers consistent application of the EnviroClip ring to the cans and helps to ensure pack quality and performance.

The cans remain easy to detach at the point of consumption while the overall pack design features finger holes to ensure easy and comfortable carrying. Further benefits include the space to print high-impact brand and sustainability messages.

Steve Gould, Graphic Packaging’s director, business development – global beverage & multi-packs, added: “Since its introduction, KeelClip has gained international recognition for its sustainability performance and the important role it is continuing to play in reducing plastic usage and hard-to-recycle plastic waste. EnviroClip builds on the same expertise and innovation, providing an expanded portfolio that makes it possible to meet our customers’ different needs.”

Discover healthcare packaging that safeguards safety and supply chain

As the healthcare market grows more complex and highly regulated, packaging must evolve. We offer packaging for prescription and over-the-counter medications, medical devices, eyecare and animal health, all built on GMP-compliant standards.

From tamper-evident cartons and child-resistant packs to anti-counterfeit features and track-and-trace capabilities, we help safeguard both patients and supply chains.

Tamper-Evident Packaging Measures 

Tamper-evident packaging provides visible evidence to the end user that the product has not been tampered with. For pharmaceuticals, tamper-evident packaging is a requirement, while for other products it offers security throughout the supply chain and to the consumer.

Child-Resistant Packaging Solutions
Child-Resistant Packaging

Often used for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other non-food consumer products, child-resistant packaging can protect children and vulnerable consumers from harm while still being intuitive and easy for those not at risk to open. 

Anti-Counterfeit and Grey Market Coding Packaging Measures
Anti-Counterfeit and Grey Market Coding Packaging Measures

Consumers expect authenticity when buying a premium product, and for the pharmaceutical industry the guarantee of authenticity is vital to maintain patient safety, but high-value markets are attractive to counterfeiters. Our state-of-the-art packaging solution can help prevent counterfeiting to ensure your brand integrity is maintained and patients are protected.  

Meet regulations while protecting patients from counterfeit medications with pharmaceutical serialization and track and trace technology for packaging.
Serialization and Track and Trace Packaging

Pet care packaging that performs

With the humanization of pets comes higher expectations for pet food and pet care packaging. We offer high performance packaging formats for a wide range of applications including canned and pouched wet food, dry food, treats, toys, cat litter and more.

Smarter packs for home and garden

For home and garden applications, durability, safety, and ease-of-use are critical.

CleanClose™ is a paperboard alternative to plastic tubs and pouches for laundry detergent, combining tamper- and child-resistance with the flexibility to handle a broad range of pod counts.

Strength packaging formats include IntegraFlute™, built for the demands of wholesale and club store channels – delivering high compression strength and structural integrity without compromising sustainability.

Foodservice innovation

Today’s consumer appreciates the ease of take-out and delivery services and the overall experience of enjoying their preferred cold beverages or frozen treats. Using a cup that underperforms shortly after preparation results in excess condensation, melted treats, and separated blends for guests.

Cold&Go™ insulated paper cold cups deliver the performance consumers expect – keeping drinks colder and in premium condition for longer compared to plastic cups. With a rigid feel and premium print capabilities, they’re an ideal alternative to plastic cold cups.

Our bakery packaging delivers supply chain efficiency, on-shelf differentiation, and standout branding – with a lot less plastic. From grease-resistant barrier performance to crisp die-cut windows, these packs strike a balance between functionality and visual impact.
