USA – ProAmpac, a prominent player in flexible packaging and material science, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Sammi to introduce a fiber-based modified atmosphere sandwich pack (MAP), signaling a significant advancement in sustainability within the food-to-go market.
Sammi’s unwavering commitment to sustainability is evident in its selection of innovative packaging solutions, emphasizing sustainable impact and extended shelf-life to minimize both packaging and food waste.
By opting for fiber-based packaging sourced from responsibly managed forests, Sammi leads the way in grab-and-go sandwiches, replacing rigid plastic clam shells to reduce its packaging footprint.
In a joint effort to drive innovation in food-to-go packaging, ProAmpac is launching its fiber-based MAP RAP Sandwich Wedge in the North American market.
Engineered specifically for sandwiches and wraps, this patented technology merges the advantages of modified atmosphere packaging with predominantly fiber-based materials.
Chad Murdock, President of ProAmpac’s fiber business, underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability, stating, “Sustainability lies at the heart of ProAmpac’s business strategy.”
He emphasizes the collaboration with Sammi as a testament to ProAmpac’s dedication to assisting customers in meeting their sustainability objectives through high-performance packaging solutions.
The ProAmpac RAP Sandwich Wedge integrates a carton board structure with a thin transparent film liner, optimizing product preservation and visibility.
Engineered for hermeticity, this innovative solution utilizes high-barrier technology to enhance freshness, extend shelf-life, and minimize food spoilage costs.
Customer satisfaction serves as a testament to the success of this collaboration, as Joel Simpler, Founder of Sammi, attests, “We’re getting very positive feedback. Customers love that Sammi Sandwiches are not just healthy and delicious, but the fiber-based packaging is what truly sets Sammi apart.”
He highlights the packaging’s design and branding flexibility, allowing for impactful messaging on sustainability—a sentiment that resonates with consumers and positions Sammi as a leader in sustainable grab-and-go options in the US.
Sammi offers a diverse range of six sandwiches, each crafted with fresh, high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients and sealed in a modified atmosphere environment for prolonged freshness.
Customers can find Sammi sandwiches at various retail locations, including Dollar General stores nationwide, or purchase wholesale directly from Sammi in any quantity or configuration.
As ProAmpac continues to spearhead sustainability and innovation, the partnership with Sammi exemplifies its commitment to empowering brands to achieve their circular economy goals, paving the way for a more sustainable future in the food-to-go market.
