J.L. Clark introduces ‘low-cost, tight seal’ plastic hinge for metal containers
ROCKFORD, IL, January 3, 2007 – Specialty packaging manufacturer J.L. Clark has introduced a new plastic-ring hinge that provides a tight, secure, and easy closure method for metal containers.
The new plastic-ring hinge closure from J.L. Clark enables manufacturers to take advantage of all the benefits of J.L. Clark’s highly decorative, durable metal containers, while at the same time reducing the cost of integrating a tightly secure closure device into the container. The ring-type closure features tabs on the lid and container ring that are easy to lock securely together, stay locked through repeated handling, and then can be easily unlocked when needed.
Among the first applications of the product is for Kerr Dental’s new OptiDisc™ Finishing and Polishing Disc Set, used by dentists to achieve a higher surface gloss on teeth. The new container significantly improves durability and everyday functionality versus the simple cardboard container used previously.
J.L.Clark delivers a variety of consumer and industrial packaging services to a wide range of markets including health and beauty aids, coffee and tea, spice, confectionery, candles, film, battery, spools and plain tin containers.
From highly decorated metal tins, to the latest technology in creative closures and dispensing techniques to 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, Lancaster, PA and Lathrop, CA, 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 $900 million, diversified marketer and manufacturer of mobile, industrial and environmental filtration products and consumer and industrial packaging products sold in domestic and international markets.
