Global packaging leader Berry Global has introduced a new closed system for its popular Politainer combi pack.
This innovative solution addresses the growing demand for enhanced product protection during dispensing, particularly for sensitive liquids.
Politainer, comprising a collapsible polyethylene (PE) container within a cardboard outer, is renowned for its efficient product evacuation and space-saving design.
The new system incorporates specialised closures and couplings that create an airtight seal, preventing oxygen ingress and contamination risks.
This makes it ideal for a wide range of products, including inks, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and high-value cosmetics.
“We are seeing increasing demand for closed systems for the emptying of our Politainers,” said Klaus Steinmann, key account manager for Berry Blow-Moulding Specialities.
“As well as specialist products such as inks, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, there are many other products which require additional protection, including cosmetics and flavourings, many of which are now preservative and additive-free and contain high-value ingredients.”
Beyond product protection, the closed Politainer system offers substantial supply chain benefits.
Compared to rigid plastic containers, the Politainer solution reduces plastic weight by up to 75%.
Additionally, empty packs are flat-packed, enabling eight times more units to be transported per truckload.
This translates to significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact through fewer transportation requirements.
The system’s versatility and efficiency make it a compelling solution for businesses seeking to optimise packaging operations while ensuring product quality.
By combining safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness, Berry’s new closed Politainer system is poised to become a standard for industries demanding heightened product protection and supply chain efficiency.
Berry Global announced a number of innovative solutions this month, including a partnership with Grillo’s to introduce spillproof, easy-open pickle jars, and the Exclusive Refill, a refillable deodorant stick with French natural cosmetics company La Rosée.
