With an eye toward performance and shelf appeal, Constar
International (NASDAQ:CNST) has introduced a new line of PET wide
mouth jars for hot fill foods. No matter what is thrown at them�the
heat and pressure of the hot fill process, the inevitable bumps and
bruises of the supply chain, the unexpected fall to a supermarket
or kitchen floor�these containers come out looking like a champ.
The all-star attributes�an unbreakable, monolayer construction,
high-barrier protection and crystal-like clarity, make Constar�s
PET wide mouth jars the perfect alternative to glass and
multi-layer plastic containers for processed foods like pasta
sauces, salsas, jellies and jams, as well as many other foods and
beverages. Constar has infused the new jars with two specialized
technologies. The first, DiamondClear�, ensures product freshness,
flavor, and color thanks to an oxygen scavenger that is blended
into a single layer of PET. Second, the jars are created using
Constar�s Vertical Compensation Technology� (VCT�), which employs
an innovative design structure to compensate for high temperature
filling and processing, demonstrated to withstand temperatures as
high as 200�F degrees. The VCT-based structure also delivers an
important sensory benefit. It feels strong even though it is made
of lightweight plastic. Constar marketing director Alex Fioravanti
explains. �Vertical Compensation Technology gives our wide-mouth
food jars a rigid feel that equates to strength in the hands of
consumers. It�s a lightweight plastic jar that won�t break if
dropped, an added value for consumers. In production, our VCT jars
are easier to label compared to plastic jars that use side grips
for vacuum compensation.� Constar offers a range of stock wide
mouth PET jars to meet specific product or serving requirements.
�Our stock jars have been designed with traditional industry shapes
in mind and to facilitate customers� integration of new packages
into customer operations. We can also design custom PET wide-mouth
food jars for companies that prefer a unique �branded� package
shape,� Fioravanti says. Constar�s new range of wide mouth food jar
offers important sustainability advantages. PET is lightweight and
highly recyclable, attributes that are fully exploited in VCT
technology, which doesn�t require a lot of material to achieve the
desired rigidity. This ability to reduce the amount of material
provides a significant advantage over glass. �Food companies
looking for high performance packaging with the sustainability
advantages of PET can rely on Constar to provide the optimum
packaging solution,� Fioravanti says. �Our wide-mouth food jars
with VCT technology and DiamondClear oxygen scavenger are designed
to work in production, in the supply chain, in retail, and in the
hands of consumers�and look good doing it.� About Constar
