In response to customer demand for environ- mentally friendly, , Inline Plastics has converted its entire line of containers to terephtalate (PET), the same recy- clable material used to make water and soda . In fact, our PET material is produced using a patented, new super-energy efficient process that reduces the carbon footprint of the material to match that of material containing 50 percent post-consumer recycled bottles, but without the loss of clarity and resiliency commonly found in recycled PET containers. For every ton of Inline PET material used, enough CO2 equivalents are saved to drive an average passenger car over 2,700 miles! One of our innovations in packaging design has been the development of the first thermo- formed clamshell containers that are resistant to in-store tampering without the addition of a wrap- around or a shrink band. Our Safe-T-Fresh® line of clamshell containers features a leak- resistant seal, and they are tamper-evident and tamper-resistant upon closing. The containers incorporate a unique tear-strip hinge called Safe- T-Gard®, which is easily removed by the consumer to gain access to the contents of the , but discourages tampering in retail outlets. Safe-T-Fresh® containers are ideal for cut fruit, salads, snacks, salsa, sandwiches and bakery products, and are available in round or rectangular styles in 8-oz through 64-oz sizes. There is also a version with a built in hang-tab for hanging on merchandising racks. Supporting Inline Plastics’ line of containers is a group of packaging automation systems tailored to handle and process the packing of the containers. Our experienced engineering staff is happy to assist our customers in the integration of our automation systems into their current processes and facilities. From container filling and locking to top, bottom, or wrap-around labeling, Inline Plastics is the only company in the industry that provides in-house developed automation solutions that will help our customers reduce costs while increasing throughput and operating efficiencies.
