During the Summer 2008, Maui Brewing Co., Lahaina, Maui, HI, began rolling out a new approach to multi-pack beer can packaging.

Pw 6105 Maui Brewing

Working with PakTech (www.paktech-opi.com), the brewer is launching 4- and 6-packs of its specialty beers in unique handled ring carriers with dust-cover tops. Initial markets are in Hawaii, California, and Japan.

The QuadPak and 6Pak handles are made of injection-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The durable, lightweight handles feature a dust-cover option that ensures can-top cleanliness for the consumer as well as a convenient area for UPC-coded labels. Handles can be manually applied, or PakTech can provide automated application equipment.
