Liquor-spiked freezer-pops

Zeus Juice chooses vf/f/s machine to serve up packaged frozen cocktails.

Pw 8145 Zeus Juice Matrix C

Contract manufacturer/packager BPNC, Inc. (www.bpncdistillery.com) is producing “Zeus Juice Frozen Cocktail” freezer-pops with 8.2% alcohol content by volume for MSCR, LLC. The grain alcohol-laced freezer-pops, developed by MSCR president Mike Sciucco, are being packaged in 50-mL, 2” wide x 8” long pouches and are sold through liquor stores, bars, and night clubs across the United States.

Sciucco notes, “I created the product idea in college several years ago. I launched it originally in 2003, but shut the business down because the packaging machine was a lemon, and I needed to finish law school.”

In pursuit of optimum machinery

When Sciucco prepared to relaunch Zeus Juice freezer-pops in new packaging, he teamed up with an old friend Brian Pearson, owner/operator of BPNC, Inc. The contract manufacturer/packager has the special license needed to produce alcohol-containing products and has experience in the novelty liquor category.

One of the key steps in planning the relaunch was finding the right packaging machinery, which MSCR would purchase for installation at the BPNC facility. Sciucco researched companies all over the world before deciding on a machine from Matrix Packaging Machinery (www.matrixpm.com).
