Newspaper print packaging for Cookies

03 Apr 2018
Radhika Rewri

DeBeukelaer Cookies Bakery are cookies in an XXL format and have been available from retailers since spring this year. Not just the biscuits, but also the entire packaging concept has been borrowed from the originals in the USA. Every cookie is individually wrapped, with the look of the paper giving the impression that the cookie has just been freshly bought from the baker’s in New York and wrapped in newspaper as it would have been in olden times.

Pretium adds new stock 2-liter PET container with integrated handle to SureHandle™ product line

01 Apr 2018
Madhu Sudan Si…

There have been a variety of attempts over the years to develop handled PET containers, but most have fallen short of the mark. This new technology creates new possibilities for many products—including beverages, foods and household and industrial chemicals—that could benefit from a monolayer container with an ergonomic handleware solution.

The 2-liter stock offering follows on the heels of last summer’s successful launch of the 64-ounce, 38-400 mm finish SureHandle™ container. The line extension is three-quarters of an inch taller than its 64 ounce counterpart.

Teknor Apex’s New Medical-grade TPE for Cold-storage Requirements Proves Better than PVC

New TPEs Better Than PVC

Medalist® compounds for low-temperature film are 70% as dense as PVC, with a typical specific gravity of 0.90.

At the same time they exhibit greater toughness in cold-storage applications, with brittle points as low as -60 °C, as against -40 °C for PVC.

This greater toughness introduces the possibility of down-gauging from standard thicknesses or replacing multi-layer structures with monolayer films.

The new Medalist compounds exhibit tensile and tear strength properties comparable to those of PVC and better moisture barrier.
