Plastipak

Plastipak describes itself as a global leader in sustainable packaging and recycling solutions, delivering results to its markets with speed, flexibility, and value. Its official site presents a range of proprietary packaging technologies across aerosol, barrier, conversion, decoration, hotfill, post-consumer recycled resin, and virgin resin categories, and states that it has 50+ years of industry leading innovation.

Plastipak's official About Us page includes a 'A History of Innovation' timeline beginning in 1967, with the entry 'Bill Young Joins the Family Business' and a note that Bill Young graduated from the University of Detroit in 1964. The page also states that Plastipak has '50+ years of industry leading innovation.' No further history details are supported by the supplied evidence.

• Aerosol packaging

  Plastipak aerosol packaging solutions use PET containers and overcome technical challenges of pressurized containers; benefits include lightweight, low carbon footprint, no rusting, design and shape flexibility, and BPA free.

• SprayPET

  A sustainable, lightweight, customizable alternative to tin-plate or steel aerosol containers; rust-free, dent-free, warm and soft to the touch, available transparent, opaque, clear or colored.

• SprayPET Reveal™ system

  A fully transparent aerosol solution offering a monolayer transparent PET pouch for BOV applications combined with the SprayPET aerosol container for a drop-resistant, environmentally friendly aerosol container.

• SprayPET Revolution™

  Aerosol technology consisting of fully recyclable polymer.

• Barrier packaging

  Barrier technologies ensure durable, reliable packaging while minimizing chemical egress; protect nutrients, flavor, color, and shelf-life. Types include PET Monolayer (DiamondClear™, MonoBlox), PET Multilayer (Multiblox, Oxbar), HDPE (4 Layers with Nylon, 6 Layers with EVOH), and PP (6 Layers with EVOH).

• O2Blox™

  Plastipak's nylon-free PET oxygen barrier technology, engineered to protect oxygen-sensitive products while supporting the integrity of the recycling stream; recognized by APR for Design for Plastics Recyclability and Critical Guidance Program.

• DiamondClear™

  Barrier technology with exceptional clarity, a durable monolayer structure, extended shelf life and significant transport cost savings compared to glass alternatives.

• Conversion

  A variety of PET, ePET molding, and wide-mouth technologies to create a brand-defining product package.

• Decoration

  Next generation of eco-friendly tattoo printing and premium decoration technology, including embossing and debossing for rigid containers.

• Hotfill containers

  Hotfill containers are the result of advanced engineering and technology designed to extend shelf life.

• Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin

  Environmentally-friendly post consumer recycled (PCR) resin brings new life to post-consumer recycled packaging.

• Virgin resin

  Quality resin that can be used in injection machines.
