American Packaging Corporation (APC) introduced its RE™ Design for Recycle High Barrier Paper pouch, a sustainable packaging solution tailored for single-serve seasoning packets and larger dry-mix products. Announced from Columbus, Wisconsin on January 13, 2026, the pouch combines protective performance with recyclability, helping brands enhance shelf appeal while minimizing environmental impact through vivid graphics and high-definition printing capabilities.
The PVDC-free structure provides grease and aroma resistance to preserve flavor integrity, alongside high MVTR and OTR barriers that extend shelf life and maintain freshness. Suitable for seasonings, coffee, baking mixes, drink enhancers, cookies, and cereal bars, the design supports reduced carbon footprints and eco-friendly practices across dry goods packaging. APC positions this as a versatile option for consumer-facing brands prioritizing sustainability without compromising product protection.
Founded in 1902, the family-owned APC operates six Centers of Excellence in the United States, employing about 1,300 professionals focused on innovation and customer needs. Interested parties can explore customization or request samples
