By GlobalDataThe launch follows an expansion of thermoforming capacity at Amcor’s Oshkosh, Wisconsin, facility, which delivers scaleable production to meet growing market demand.
AmSecure will be supported by a range of compatible lids and pouches.
Art Castro, vice-president of Amcor flexibles healthcare in North America, stated: “AmSecure represents a significant advancement in healthcare packaging by delivering APET-based thermoformed solutions that match the mechanical and visual performance of PETG, while offering cost efficiency and a path towards recyclability.
“The Amcor solution meets the critical needs of customers without compromising production and line performance.”
