Our North America Footprint: Greiner Packaging Pittston and Greiner Bio-One

Greiner is a global group with multiple divisions. Greiner Packaging focuses on packaging and labeling solutions for food and non-food categories. Separately, Greiner Bio-One develops medical and laboratory products, with Greiner Bio-One North America serving healthcare and diagnostics. If you’re looking for recyclable consumer packaging, labeling, and decoration, you’re in the right place—Greiner Packaging Pittston is our U.S. manufacturing hub.

K3^® Recyclable PP Foam: The Next Generation of Insulated Packaging

• 100% PP for easy recycling: Single-material design (cup, lid, and IML label in PP) supports APR-aligned sorting streams in the U.S.
• Ultra-lightweight: Up to 80% weight reduction vs. rigid containers, cutting transport emissions and cost.
• Thermal performance: Lab testing (EN 12667 method) shows a 6-hour cold-chain hold with only about +7.5°C temperature rise—comparable insulation to EPS without EPS’s end-of-life drawbacks.
• Microwave safe: Suitable for -20°C to +100°C applications, enabling reheat convenience where applicable.
• Food-contact compliant: FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and EU 10/2011 aligned, supporting cross-border programs.
• IML in-mold labeling: Premium graphics fused into the container wall; decoration is the same PP as the pack—no delabeling required.

Proven in Market: From Dairy to Deli

Dairy (North America): Brand owners have successfully transitioned from non-recyclable PS foam to K3^® PP foam for yogurt and cultured products, achieving “Widely Recyclable” labeling and maintaining cold-chain stability. Lightweighting and logistics savings helped keep total packaging costs in line while boosting sustainability KPIs and consumer preference.

Fresh & Prepared Foods (Europe, now scaling to U.S.): Supermarket deli programs have reduced heat-loss complaints with K3^® trays and bowls, improving customer satisfaction and repeat purchases—demonstrating strong ROI even with modest unit-cost premiums.

Packaging & Printing for Personal Care and Outdoor Hydration

Beyond food, Greiner Packaging supports personal care and outdoor hydration brands with primary and secondary packaging, plus high-impact decoration.

• Personal care—spray water bottle for hair: We provide caps, closures, dispensers, PP components, and premium labeling (IML, shrink sleeves, pressure-sensitive) for salon and at-home haircare formats. Ask us about low-profile foamed inserts for insulation or grip and shelf-ready trays for multi-packs.
• Hydration—collapsible & reusable bottles: For brands in the on-the-go segment—including those offering collapsible water bottles (e.g., products similar to LifeStraw’s outdoor gear)—we deliver durable sleeves, protective secondary packaging, and recyclable label solutions engineered for rugged use and clear communication of filtration or reuse benefits.

Note: Greiner Packaging is an independent packaging supplier; references to market examples such as a Lifestraw collapsible water bottle illustrate application types. We do not claim ownership of those brands.

Printing & Decoration That Performs in Real-World Recycling

• IML (In-Mold Labeling): Photo-quality graphics, scuff-resistant, and same-material PP construction for clean recycling streams.
• Shrink sleeves & wrap labels: High coverage for storytelling and compliance info, engineered for recyclability where compatible with local MRF guidelines.
• Digital & flexographic printing: Agile runs for line extensions, seasonal designs, and retailer exclusives.
