AIRLITE PLASTICS

Airlite Plastics has launched a line of full-wrap IML square containers called the J Line.  The J1851 containers emphasize how the product design incorporates full-wrap IML labels to maximize graphic area. Each container allows for a film inner seal that enhances shelf life and product freshness. The lids, available in a variety of colors, also incorporate IML graphics. Together, the containers and lids offer space-saving packaging with high-quality graphics and superior shelf appeal. The J line was originally available in 8-ounce, 12-ounce and 16-ounce sizes, but is expanding to include 2-pound and 3-pound containers.

PHOENIX PACKAGING

An innovative solution for on-the-go snacking is available from Phoenix Packaging. The company’s 4.6-ounce container and 2-inch dome are made for a Greek Yogurt Dip with Pita Chips. The container features a white thermoformed polypropylene base with a snap-on,
clear crystallized polypropylene injection-molded dome. Both the lid and the base are individually wrapped with a shrink sleeve prior to shipping, which eliminates this extra step at the customer. The cup has an eight-color flexo print with a very vibrant, high-end appearance. More flavors and an additional size are currently under development.

STANPAC

Stanpac’s latest tamper-evident ice cream packaging products are part of the SecurTEC family and now include 14-ounce, 16-ounce, 500-millileter, 32-ounce and 1-litre round packages as well as 48-ounce, 56-ounce, and 64-ounce non-round sizes. The tamper-evident feature is visible by the consumer at the point-of-purchase. Accidental removal that can occur on packaging lines and in distribution channels is prevented. With a simple snap-on application, no special equipment or additional floor space is required. Bold full-color lithographic printing and high-gloss varnish increase shelf appeal, and the packaging enables producers to improve line efficiencies, optimize package safety and protect their brand.
