The Four Packaging Decisions That Impact EPR Fees

July 27, 2026

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs are spreading, and they're changing how packaging gets priced. Under these programs, the fees a producer pays are shaped directly by packaging design- which means the choices packaging teams make today increasingly determine what they'll owe tomorrow. The good news is that most programs reward the same basic packaging improvements, so a few well-chosen design moves can lower exposure across the board, often without a full redesign. At Sealstrip, we're tracking these programs closely and building solutions specifically to help our customers stay ahead of them.

How Resealable Packaging Reduces Food Waste

July 6, 2026

Food waste is an enormous, expensive problem — and most of it happens after the groceries are home. ReFED estimates that about a quarter of the U.S. food supply goes to waste each year, and consumer households are the single biggest source. USDA puts total U.S. food waste at roughly 30–40% of the food supply, and the UN’s 2024 Food Waste Index attributes about 60% of global food waste to households. A large share of that is simply food that goes stale or spoils after the package is opened — which is exactly where resealable packaging earns its keep.

Easy-Open and Tamper-Evident Packaging for Medical Devices and Pharma

July 6, 2026

Medical and pharmaceutical packaging carries two demands at once. It has to open cleanly and reliably in a clinical setting — often with gloved hands, under time pressure — and it has to show at a glance that the package hasn’t been opened or tampered with before it reaches the patient. Those aren’t competing goals: the right easy-open feature is also your tamper evidence. Here’s how to think about it, and which Sealstrip features fit.
