Jelly even safer to spread

To start off the year, Palmetto Canning Co., Palmetto, FL, relaunched its Palmalito brand of jams and jellies in a 16-oz glass jar with a 2-mil PVC heat-shrinked label that provides tamper evidence.

“If you look at jellies on a store shelf, you will see that they are one of the food products that still do not have tamper evidence,” says Jonathan Canning, owner of Palmetto Canning. “If jellies do have tamper evidence, it is the vacuum button on the cap, which can be unreliable.”

Seal-It (Farmingdale, NY) supplies the full-sleeve label with graphics, reverse-printed in 8 colors, that convey a tropical look with a palm tree, colorful parrot, and various fruits. “The shrink label gave us the advantage, if we wanted, for complete coverage as far as graphics go,” says Canning. “It also gave us the ability to leave part of the label clear to see the product.”
