The result is a consistent look for the premium portion of the company's fifty-plus products. Instead of using a mix of steel cans and plastic bottles the company now packages its premium products in Advanced Monobloc's (Hermitage PA) 16-oz tapered aluminum bottles. "Aluminum is the ultimate barrier material for these powerful concentrated chemicals" says Alice Crowder director of marketing for Durham NC-based Snap Products. This marks only the second application of the double-tapered long-necked bottle previously thought impossible to produce. In a process called impact-extrusion a straight-walled container is formed. Then through tool design and Advanced Monobloc's proprietary neck-down machine the neck and threading are formed. The bottles are offset-printed in five colors. A foil-lined child-resistant polypropylene cap is provided by Sunbeam Plastics (Evansville IN). Probably best known for its Fix-A-Flat Snap's products are sold nationwide at automotive stores and mass merchandisers.
