When executives from Mt. Olive Pickle Company went to PACK EXPO in 2017, they weren't exactly looking for a whole new way to package their product. However, as they walked the show, they began to see a lot of equipment and materials related to flexible packaging. Further investigation made them decide it was time to put their pickles into pouches. Mt. Olive is the No. 1 producer of pickles, peppers and relish in the world. Pickles have many antioxidants, are low in calories and are considered a healthy snack. Since they day the company was launched in 1926, their products primarily have been packaged in glass jars. Recently, they've also begun using lidded plastic cups, rigid plastic bottles and — as of January 2019 — stand-up pouches.
