Petainer brings all the benefits of PET to the food industry with the new petainerJar™
Petainer (petainer.com), the leading supplier of plastic packaging, has launched the petainerJar™, a PET jar that offers significant cost and sustainability benefits over jars made from other materials. The new petainerJar can be supplied with short lead times either as a fully blown jar or as a PET wide mouth preform, ready to be blown by food manufacturers on their own premises as and when needed. This two stage process offers inbound freight savings of up to 90%, and, significantly reduces costs.
The petainerJar is more cost effective and sustainable than jars made from other materials because it weighs much less, which means more can be carried on a truck without breaching weight restrictions whilst making maximum use of the load space. In turn, this saves dramatically on freight costs and fuel consumption. Transporting jars in preform format improves environmental performance since many more can be transported in fewer shipments, further cutting down on road miles. Preforms additionally offer operational benefits because they require less storage space.
