New canister packaging for beef jerky

In late Summer 2008, Oberto Sausage Co., Kent, WA, introduced its 30-counts of prewrapped Oh Boy!

Pw 6419 Oberto R

Beef Jerky sticks in a new canister that Oberto makes in-plant from flat blanks of polypropylene. Both the container materials and the container-forming equipment are provided by Huhtamaki (www.huhtamaki.com), which calls the novel system Velocity®. The Oberto application represents the commercial debut of the Velocity container system.

Made from preprinted polypropylene-based sheet, the canister sidewalls are formed around mandrels. A side seam is produced via heat-sealing and a PP bottom is heat-sealed in place, as well. This technology and the machinery used are very similar to the long-standing Huhtamaki mandrel systems used for paperboard canister forming.
