P&G's new angle on tortilla chips

Procter & Gamble has unveiled another intriguing new plastic package. Just months ago, the Cincinnati-based company began test-marketing 0.81 oz of Pringles in a single-serve cup injection-molded of polypropylene (see PW, Oct. ’01, p. 2, or packworld.com/go/pringlepak). This time it’s Torengos Tortilla Chips in an 8 ½’’ tall white triangular container with 2 ¾’’ sides.

It’s extrusion blow-molded of high-density polyethylene by Consolidated Container (Atlanta, GA). High-impact graphics are provided by a reverse-printed stretch-sleeve film label from MRI (Newtown, PA). Sleeving is done by Consolidated using three customized 10-head rotary sleeve applicators from PDC-Europe (Austin, TX). Containers are shipped to P&G’s plant in Jackson, TN, where they are filled and heat-sealed with a triangular foil lidstock. A thermoformed overcap from Ivex (Wheaton, IL) provides recloseability.
