Amcor will bring its latest sustainable innovations for wine packaging to North America’s leading event dedicated to the wine industry. The company will present solutions that combine environmental sustainability, technical performance and brand differentiation, helping wineries address today’s competitive pressures.
Transparence Programme: circular economy for wine
Amcor’s Transparence Programme sets out a structured approach to sustainability in the wine and spirits sector, built on three strategic pillars: Reduce, Recycle and Respect. At Unified, the company will highlight progress under the “Recycle” pillar, including the introduction of ever-higher levels of recycled content across its wine and spirits products.
Softgard: over 90% recycled tin
The headline innovation is Softgard, a tin capsule made with more than 90% recycled material sourced from end-of-life products, from ship propellers to bronze ornaments. This circular-economy approach turns industrial waste into premium overcaps that maintain the highest quality standards, while also delivering a superior tactile feel.
Customisation remains central: wineries can elevate their packaging with premium finishes, distinctive colours and embossed detailing that reflects their brand identity.
ShapeArt: shelf differentiation through shapes and textures
To support brand expression, Amcor presents ShapeArt, a solution that enables unique forms, innovative print features and distinctive tactile finishes. The service includes comprehensive creative support—from design and technical trials through to hands-on assistance during the bottling process.
Stelvin ColourSprint: speed without compromise
To meet the needs of increasingly competitive markets, Amcor introduces the Stelvin ColourSprint range, offering the iconic Stelvin screwcap in core colours, including Extra Matte and Signature options. The range enables shipments within 2–3 weeks of ordering, allowing for customisation while maintaining short lead times.
Integrated technical support: the Field Technical Service team
Amcor’s Field Technical Service (FTS) team will be on site at the event, specialising in operational support for running screwcaps, overcaps and hoods on bottling lines. The service covers equipment optimisation, trials of new materials and specialist advice to maximise efficiency and quality.
Meeting the challenges facing modern wineries
Wineries today face multiple competitive pressures:
- Faster time-to-market requirements
- Rising expectations for environmental sustainability
- Increasingly intense competition on the shelf
- The need to maintain consistently high quality standards
Amcor’s integrated approach aims to simplify this complexity, offering solutions that combine technical performance, sustainability and brand differentiation through a single strategic partner.
A dialogue on the future of wine packaging
The Unified Wine and Grape Symposium provides a strategic opportunity for constructive dialogue on the evolution of packaging in the wine sector. Amcor will use the event to share innovations, gather feedback from producers and contribute to discussions on how packaging can better support quality, efficiency and sustainability across the wine industry
