Developed for bulk milk packaging, Maxipack is a multiwall, double block-end sack which maintains high quality, food grade hygienic standards with significantly improved pallet loading and container space utilization. Its brick-like shape increases space efficiency for warehousing and transport, at the same time maximizing cubic space capacity and stability of pallet loads.

Maxipack features an inner sack produced from specialized polymer extrusions. This inner sack completely separates from the outer paper sack, protecting the inner sack from impurities present during the handling and shipping of the sacks.

Incorporated into the design is the Patented Tear Top easy-opening feature, which eliminates the potential product contamination hazards associated with opening filled bags using strings, knives or blades.

With Amcor's Maxipack and Tear Top technologies, Smurfit-Stone Container expects to deliver hygienic, more efficient and more profitable packaging solutions to their North American customers.
