The proprietary Smiler technology enables bottles/containers to be
injection blow molded into different shapes and sizes. The larger, top
compartment holds liquid, while the bottom holds a snack item.
Additionally, both can be used for dry products and/or non-food items.
The second or bottom compartment is created by drawing the base upwards
which forms a small cavity into which a heat-sealed portion cup,
containing solid, granular or powdered products, can be inserted and
held by friction. The base opening can then be closed using a variety
of heat-seal or pressure-sensitive materials/methods. The top
compartment relies on a traditional finish and closure.
