NORWALK, CONN. — Pepperidge Farm, Inc., a division of Camden, N.J.-based Campbell Soup Co., was honored earlier this month with two packaging awards: the DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation and an Ameristar award from the Institute of Packaging Professionals.
Both awards recognize the company's Deli Flats thin rolls and Goldfish bread for innovative packaging design, sustainability and waste reduction. The new packaging for the products reduced the use of materials by 65%, and the more compact package allows 25% more product to be shipped in the same shipping unit, resulting in reduced transportation costs and a smaller carbon footprint, Pepperidge said.
Pepperidge said the new package designs were made of flexible film lamination that features improved graphics that are unique to the bakery aisle.
Now in its 24th year, the DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation is the industry's longest-running, global, independently judged award recognizing innovation and collaboration throughout the value chain.
