Better bottles weigh less

Written by 

US company, Milacron Holdings Corp, says its Uniloy business and Consolidated Container have together developed a lightweight range of retail milk packs in gallon, half-gallon and other sizes – called Dura-Lite.

Dura-Lite containers are strong, appealing and compatible with the supply chain, its makers say. They have radiuses, symmetrical ribs and angles that work together to reduce weight without sacrificing bottle performance or aesthetics.

The containers will hit retail shelves in early 2016.
