Case Study: Perfection Fresh

Client
Perfection Fresh are one of Australia’s leading suppliers of fresh produce to the retail sector.

Challenge
Perfection Fresh approached Detpak with the brief for a quality, sustainable, and differentiated premium grapes offer. 

Maintaining product shelf life was crucial to prevent food wastage, matching the performance of plastic bags. 

Preserving product visibility while transitioning from plastic to paper packaging was another requirement.

Solution
In a collaborative effort between Detpak and Perfection Fresh Australia, the grape bag was redesigned with sustainability in mind. Detpak's Research and Development team ensured the new packaging maintained functionality comparable to its plastic counterpart.

LaunchPad, Detpak’s innovation lab, crafted a solution meeting key criteria: breathability, packaging strength, moisture resistance, and product visibility while maintaining a premium appeal.

The initial launch with Perfection Fresh's Autumn Crisp brand, aimed at offering quality, sustainable, and premium grapes, was successful. Coles facilitated the launch into their stores, supporting the transition to sustainable packaging. The solution was subsequently scaled up with Perfection Fresh and Costa joining the initiative.

Detpak's innovation team leveraged RecycleMe™ technology, integrating ventilation holes for breathability and maintaining packaging strength, thus delivering a significant sustainable change for the industry. The solution was cost-effective and aligned with environmental goals.

Results
In collaboration with Perfection Fresh Australia, Detpak introduced the RecycleMe™ SOS Grape Bag, a premium paper packaging solution for fresh in-season grapes, aiming to differentiate premium grapes and reduce plastic usage.

The collaboration set a new packaging standard in the Australian grape industry. 

This kerbside recyclable paper packaging successfully met the shelf-life, durability, and recyclability needs of Australia’s leading grape vendors Perfection Fresh and Costa Group, consumers, and Coles supermarkets.

 

We aim to deliver the best value for shoppers by meeting their needs and solving their problems. In this case, we were able to differentiate our premium grapes and deliver a significant reduction in plastic, which was a win win for all the stakeholders, including the environment.”  - Perfection fresh

Case Study: Bostik

Client
Bostik Packaging Philippines, Inc.

Bostik is a leading global adhesive specialist in construction, consumer and industrial markets globally, with over 100 years’ experience in sealing and bonding solutions. 

Challenge
Bostik Philippines required: A paper packaging option for their mortar brands, transitioning away from Polypropylene (PP) woven bags, while maintaining strength compared to the previous woven option

A packaging supplier that aligns with Bostik’s sustainability, quality and supply chain standards 

Can provide high quality printed products, to maintain consistency with the wider range.

Solution
Detpak worked with Bostik to develop a sustainable paper packaging solution that did not impact product quality or packaging strength, due to the heavy weight of the mortar it must hold

Trialling artwork on flexographic print, to ensure adherence to the Bostik print guideline, including bringing the Bostik team to Detpak’s Phillipines manufacturing plant for collaboration and approvals

Completing trials on various sizes, as well as drop tests to ensure consistent and sufficient bag strength and functionality.

Results
 Detpak now provides packaging for 100% of Bostik’s top two mortar brands in the Philippines, , helping Bostik to maintain brand image through premium printing that is in line with Bostik’s wider product range

Although the journey of development has been long and tough, Detpak has been persistent and dedicated on satisfying our requirements.” – Tezza Postrado, Procurement Manager - Bostik
