| PackWorld.com - April 2007, p.19 Salsas in 48-oz bottle twin-packs. In February 2007, San Antonio Farms, San Antonio, TX, began club-store marketing of double-packs of salsas in 48-oz-volume, six-layer PP/EVOH barrier jugs with .015" wall thickness and 82-g empty-bottle weight. Shelf life of the bottled salsa is 12 months. Average retail price of the salsa twin-packs is between $5.00 and $6.00. The jugs are shrink-wrapped together using 3-mil PVC shrink film supplied by Pack-Mark and shrink equipment manufactured by Axon Corp). San Antonio Farms also is planning to institute polypropylene carrier collars (called "dog bones") supplied by PakTech (www.paktech-opi.com) for the salsa bottle packs. Read the article here |  |

PakTech addressed this issue by designing new handles with a completely covered top specifically for cans. The unique injection molded design is functional in both unitizing the cans as well as covering the tops with a thin layer of HDPE plastic. The package holds together safely upon distribution, and many handle styles and automated application available. Read the article here |  |
| Packaging World Magazine - November 2006
PakTech has developed a machine to automatically apply ´Klip' handles in-line. The handles unitize containers that don't have standard necks or closures, such as spray bottles. Machine is set up to apply 4 TwinKlips at once (8 bottles/cycle), achieving a throughput of 120 bottles/min. Production machines will be based on this current design, with the ability to apply several different Klip sizes with the use of change parts, allowing the end user to easily switch between bottle sizes, styles, and multipack configurations with just one machine.
