Pretium Packaging, a leading North American manufacturer of plastic containers and closures, has won three Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) Ameristar packaging awards for its SureHandle\u2122 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container which features an integrated handle.<\/p>\n
The SureHandle\u2122 bottle was awarded Ameristar\u2019s top \u201cBest of Show\u201d honor, in addition to winning the Beverages, Non-alcoholic and Food, Shelf Stable categories.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Best of Show Award honors a package that surpasses all judging criteria and that judges unanimously rated \u2018outstanding\u2019 in every category,\u201d explained Jane Chase, executive director, IoPP.<\/p>\n
Pretium Packaging used technology from Practically Impossible Labs, Houston, Texas, to develop the SureHandle\u2122 stock container line. It is currently available in a 64-ounce, 38-400 mm finish, as well as a 2-liter size. The line was developed to provide brand owners with significant shelf differentiation, handling convenience and aesthetics that were not previously possible.<\/p>\n
There have been a variety of attempts over the years to develop handled PET containers, but most have fallen short of the mark. SureHandle\u2122 is a \u201cfirst-of-its-kind\u201d bottle because it comes out of the injection mold with the handle already in place. (Unlike traditional preforms, the SureHandle\u2122 preform features an injection molded handle\u00a0integrated into\u00a0the side wall.)<\/p>\n
This new technology creates new possibilities for many products\u2014including beverages, foods and household and industrial chemicals\u2014that could benefit from a monolayer PET container with an ergonomic handleware solution.<\/p>\n
Ameristar judges considered more than 70 packages for nine category awards. The entries were evaluated for package innovation, product protection, economics, performance, marketing and environmental impact.<\/p>\n
