NEENAH, Wis. (News release) -- Bemis Company, Inc. has been honored by DuPont for the Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Bakery Delights package featuring textured film. The package received a Silver Award in the 2017 DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation.

The innovative Kellogg's package features textured film technology, presenting on shelf as a bakery treat that looks like it's wrapped in kraft paper and twine. To capture the attention of millennial shoppers, the package is designed to look, feel, crinkle and crunch like paper.
