Thin is in!
Imagine the environmental impact of a plastic container that uses 35% less material, requires 30% less energy to produce, and weighs less to reduce fuel costs for shipping. At J.L. Clark, the dream is fast becoming reality. A new generation of injection-molded plastic containers is being developed, with much thinner walls that take material and cost out of the container. With J.L. Clark’s thin-wall molding technology, wall thicknesses can be made that are less than half what they used to be. The impact on manufacturing costs, shipping costs and material savings is significant....

Great labels!
Decorating plastic containers conventionally – with adhesive labels – can make it difficult to eventually recycle the plastic material. That's why J.L. Clark is pioneering in the use of advanced In-Mold Labeling technology. At J.L. Clark, it's now possible to mold a label, made from the same plastic resin as the container itself, right into the structure during the injection molding operation. Benefits to the customer are numerous.
