Paperboard 12-pack wins award

A new 12-pack paperboard can multipack has won the coveted Structural/Technical Innovation award in the 2001 National Paperboard Packaging Competition, sponsored by the Paper-board Packaging Council (Alexandria, VA). Called the DuoStrap®, the Mead Packaging (Atlanta, GA) carton has already received patents for its integral handle and also for its can roll-out dispensing device.

Pw 17247 Coca Cola

The package was tested last summer for Sprite and Diet Coke packed by three Coca-Cola plants: independent franchisees in Philadelphia and Sacramento and a Coca-Cola Enterprises plant in Columbus, OH, according to Glynn Grisham, director of Coca-Cola systems for Mead Packaging. Repeated calls to Coca-Cola were not returned. The box is made of 18-pt coated natural kraft, and the Coke version was printed flexo in four colors plus varnish.
