Packaging of the Brick PET bottle is notable in that it will be offered in four-packs with a colorful paperboard neck lock. Supplied by Kruger (Rexdale, Ontario, Canada), the 175#-test E-flute corrugated carrier is decorated with a litho label printed offset in four colors. Operators at Brick erect the carrier from a flat blank and apply it by hand. The four-packs are selling for under $10 (US$6.30).
