Amcor Flexibles’ Fortis™ bag earned a Flexible Packaging Assn. Gold award in Technical Innovation as a patent-pending medical breather bag used for items sterilized prior to use in operating rooms and other medical settings. Both the material and the bag are designed to result in a stronger, more abuse-resistant, cleaner package. Fortis is also designed to provide an improved user experience and a reduced impact on the environment. Fortis bags are sold in sizes typically ranging from 8x10 in. up to 48x48 in., holding products that can weigh as much as 30 lb.

Jesse Blake, Marketing Director, Medical North America, Amcor Flexibles, notes that Fortis development began in 2013. “We felt there was a need in the market for something new,” he says. “There hadn't been any development for 20-some years for this type of package. We wanted to design something that was easy to open and provided an aseptic presentation to allow users to tear open the header in the aseptic field.
