Amcor announced the launch of the next generation of its Apex™ family of premium packaging. The jars now include Elevate™ technology, which increases their ability to handle hot-fill process on the production line.
The Apex line of clear, lightweight PET jars with metal lug closures offers pasta sauce brands a simpler, more consistent experience than traditional glass jars that can offer lower overall costs when factoring in freight, manufacturing downtime and breakage.1 The greater stability of Elevate technology enables food manufacturers to fill Apex jars at up to 205 degrees Fahrenheit and offers stronger resistance to deformation as temperatures on production lines fluctuate.
Additionally, Apex costs less to ship than glass jars. With about seven unfilled Apex jars equal in weight to one unfilled glass jar, manufacturers could ship up to 36% more product per truckload.2 Apex is compatible with most manufacturers’ existing lines and equipment, further reducing the cost to switch.
