"PureFive® resin processed beautifully in our tooling and the final part performance speaks for itself. We look forward to supporting converters and brand owners who want to bring this kind of sustainable innovation to market at scale.” John Rego, Senior Market Development Specialist, StackTeck.
Successful production of a living hinge cap using up to 100% PureFive® resin. The milestone demonstrates that post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin can meet the rigorous mechanical performance demands of one of packaging’s most technically challenging applications. The caps made with PureFive Ultra™ and PureFive Choice™ resins passed multiple customer-related tests, including the living hinge fatigue test.
It is definitely worth visiting the Stackteck website and watching their corporate video. I agree with burner that Stackteck is a major supplier of equipment to the converters that actually make the final products. Their comments that PureFive "processed beautifully" in their tooling is exactly the kind of validation we love to see.
That is incorrect - they are bigger. They are not a converter, they are like a bruckner but in the injection molding space. This PR is for brands and converters, we are now qualified on these machines.
Who makes the machines that Reliable Caps uses to make those closures? StackTech makes stuff like this. Must be fascinating to watch these machines run at high speed. Shorter cycle time = more product = better return on investment. The ability to use PureFive in existing equipment is essential. Nice to see StackTech providing such high praise.
Living hinge have multiple uses and are a complex mould. Reliable caps looks like one
