MWV Introduces Natralock Packaging

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 300,000 people visit the hospital annually as a result of injuries incurred while trying to open plastic packaging, ranking “unintentional cut/pierce” as the fifth most common cause of nonfatal injuries.

Global packaging solutions company MeadWestvaco, based in Richmond, Va., has developed a packaging solution to help avoid the injuries often associated with opening plastic clamshell packaging. Natralock security packaging is an alternative to clamshell packaging that is designed to satisfy environmental sustainability objectives, deter theft and increase brand security.
