ProAmpac and Ozzi Tackle Moisture at the Source

5 June 2026

ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, is proud to announce the successful commercialization of ProActive Intelligence® Moisture Protect MP-1000, a breakthrough active packaging technology developed in collaboration with Ozzi, a brand specializing in stick-pack formats for sensitive powdered products.

Moisture Protect MP-1000 is a patent-pending film technology designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in food, health, and wellness products: moisture-driven degradation. The Moisture Protect series integrates Aptar CSP Technologies’ 3-Phase Activ-Polymer™ technology. With this technology, the MP-1000 series of films actively adsorbs residual moisture from the package headspace, eliminating the need for traditional desiccant packets while maintaining excellent barrier performance.

“Moisture Protect MP-1000 demonstrates how active packaging can move beyond protection to actively enable product performance,” said Bob Flaherty,

vice president of product development. “Our collaboration with Ozzi shows what’s possible when material science is aligned with real-world product challenges—delivering better outcomes for brands and consumers alike.”

Ozzi partnered with ProAmpac to solve taste and odor issues caused by excess moisture trapped inside stick packs. Traditional packaging couldn’t keep the interior dry enough, which affected product quality and reduced shelf life.

By switching to ProAmpac’s MP-1000 packaging, Ozzi dramatically improved performance. MP-1000 actively removes moisture from the package interior, helping protect flavor, prevent unwanted odors, and maintain overall product quality.

“MP-1000 allowed us to solve a critical product performance issue while simplifying our packaging system,” said Brandon Kuipers, founder. “By removing residual moisture at the source, we were able to protect flavor without compromising efficiency or adding complexity to our operation.”

Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing packaging lines, MP-1000 offers customizable moisture protection without added complexity. By eliminating the need for loose desiccants, this technology improves product quality, reduces waste, and extends shelf life, making it a versatile solution for moisture-sensitive applications across food, health, and wellness products.
