Ocean Spray’s partnership with Bryce is part of the cooperative’s continued commitment to making more recoverable packaging solutions.
The packaging is the result of almost two years of collaboration between the two parties.
Made from Bryce’s BryCyclable high-performance polyethylene, the solution will be used for Ocean Spray’s Craisins dried cranberries.
The pouch makes use of Bryce’s high-definition flexographic printing, high-opacity inks and registered matte coatings.
