Champion: Pack’d - Freezer Paper Bags

In a category in which plastic is well and truly the norm, these new paper freezer bags developed by health food brand Pack’d are a “genuine bit of innovation”. The switch to paper came with plenty of risk. There was no guarantee the film would perform in freezers and the speed of production initially took a hit, but after 18 months of storage testing and manufacturing trials, the new bags finally landed in aisles in November 2023.

The paper bags use an OPRL-approved paper laminate (81% paper, 19% PE laminate), which means it can be widely recycled at home. “This is a great innovation for the frozen category and gives massive standout for the product,” summed up one judge.
