J.L. Clark introduces aluminum packaging solutions
ROCKFORD, IL, September 19, 2011 – Specialty packaging manufacturer J.L. Clark has launched a new line of aluminum containers, ideal for a wide range of water-based consumer health and beauty products. In addition, the new aluminum containers are exceptionally 'sustainable', since they're 100% recyclable and very lightweight to reduce both shipping energy costs and emissions.
Tooling for the first five aluminum structures, all with different design features and/or dimensions, has already been developed, making it much simpler, faster and cost-effective for customers to begin benefiting from aluminum packaging. J.L. Clark can also apply all of its resources, capabilities and experience to best meet the special requirements of aluminum container fabrication and decorating, according to J.L. Clark Vice President, Sales & Marketing Michael Matus.
"Highly decorative steel packaging, while very desirable for many water-based products such as those used for hair care, often requires a thermoformed cup or other barrier to protect the steel from corrosion," says Mr. Matus. "But with our new aluminum containers, these same products can be packaged in the same fashion, with beautiful lithography, but without the cost or secondary operations required to protect against corrosion. Additionally, aluminum is among the most 'sustainable' materials available for packaging, since it's as easily recyclable as your average soda can."
Each of the five aluminum containers feature unique size and characteristics to meet a wide range of applications. All can be decorated with J.L. Clark's award-winning lithography capabilities.
From highly decorated steel and aluminum containers, to the latest in custom injection molded packaging…specialty packaging manufacturer JL Clark offers the widest variety of choices for shapes, sizes, and decoration – in metal, plastic or combinations of both.
From plant locations in Rockford, IL and Lancaster, PA, customers can take advantage of any and all of a full range of services, including assisting graphic and concept design, package development, prototyping, project management, and contract packaging.
J.L. Clark is a division of CLARCOR, a $1 billion, diversified marketer and manufacturer of mobile, industrial and environmental filtration products and consumer and industrial packaging products sold in domestic and international markets. For more information, visit www.jlclark.com.
