Award for innovative sustainable packaging solution from KHS

Nature MultiPack™ receives the 2019 “Polite Packaging” gold label.

The SilverPack Award “Polite Packaging” (Höfliche Verpackung) is an initiative of the Meyer-Hentschel Institute (Zurich|Saarbrücken). It has been awarded since 2008. Initiator and chairman of the jury, Dr. Meyer-Hentschel is a sought-after keynote speaker on the theme of packaging and packaging trends.

The Meyer-Hentschel Institute wishes to put a positive emphasis on the SilverPack Award. The institute acts as a consultant for the beverage and consumer goods industry as well as the packaging industry.

This is also because the packaging is repeatedly criticized for various reasons. The SilverPack Award aims to show that more and more packaging deserves the “Polite Packaging” award. Polite to consumers, polite to the environment and polite to the content.

Foilless Nature MultiPack™ packaging system inspires experts

This year, 35 applications were submitted to the competition, of which only two received the “gold” prize.

The jury was immediately convinced by the concept of using single-spot adhesive glue by the Nature MultiPack™ machine:

The concept completely abandons secondary packaging outside the container (PET bottle or can). No other packaging material than small adhesive dots is required. Plastic films, trays and cardboard packaging are completely eliminated.
Customer information. The consumer has a clear vision of the product.
Easy opening of the multiple packaging and removal of the individual containers.
Convenience for the customer. Virtually no waste, no disposal of cardboard or shrink film.
Durability: up to 89% less packaging material up to 67% energy savings in production.

Innovative and environmentally friendly packaging system

“The Nature MultiPack™ concept can undoubtedly be described as very innovative and polite,” the jury said. “This solution has many benefits for consumers and the environment. Nature MultiPack™ is polite with the customer and polite with the environment. It also reduces the cost for expensive packaging materials.”

An innovation that perfectly meets the requirements of comfort and durability. Products packaged with Nature MultiPack can therefore carry the “Polite Packaging” label.
