Announcing PakLock - Your THC Beverage Safe and Secure
PakTech is announcing the release of a brand new product for the cannabis beverage market. The PakLock is a child resistant cap designed for THC beverages. Made from the same 100% recycled and 100% recyclable plastic as PakTech’s popular multipacks, the PakLock is designed to be a safe, secure, and simple solution to allow responsible adults to enjoy their THC beverages without children being able to access them.
Developed by PakTech’s engineering team and third- party certified meeting the child-resistant criteria set forth by 16 CFR Part 1700.20, the PakLock is an important innovation in the growing cannabis beverage market. PakLock provides a cost effective solution to Child Resistant Packaging needs that is easy to apply, fits snug on all standard 202-260 aluminum can formats, and is removable by adults—while being certified Child Resistant Packaging (CRP).
“As cannabis became more readily available in the recreational market, both in Canada and state by state in the U.S., we started to receive inquiries about whether we had any child-resistant or tamper-evident packaging,” said Lloyd McGriff, Director of Sales for PakTech. “That was when we realized we could leverage our experience from our PakTech can carriers and meet this new market need.”
That’s when PakTech’s engineering team went to work. "Developing the PakLock presented unique challenges," explained Vice President and Director of Engineering Zak Borg. “Designs had to be modified significantly so they would perform uniformly in strict certification testing using a wide specification resin.” But with diligent effort, the PakLock was successfully created and certified.
“My favorite part of the development process were the many aha moments as we studied how to make it work—several of which have given rise to new solutions to other design challenges as well,” said Zak.
And it’s sustainable. Like all of PakTech’s products the PakLock is made from 100% recycled HDPE #2 plastic, which means every PakLock is produced from existing recycled plastic. And when you’re done? They’re 100% recyclable as well.
Designed to be secure and durable with an attractive minimalist design, the PakLock is an affordable solution to securing THC beverages for retail sale. Whether you’re a brand owner, a distributor, a dispensary, or a parent looking to enjoy your THC beverages responsibly, the PakLock is designed with you in mind.
The PakLock is available for purchase today to all of our partners. Contact your PakTech representative, or visit our website for more information.
About
WE'LL HANDLE IT.
PakTech designs and manufactures post-consumer recycled packaging handles and automated handle applicators based in Eugene, Oregon. As an established yet innovative packaging leader in the beverage industry for over 25 years, PakTech delivers the highest quality and most sustainable turn-key packaging solutions.
PakTech’s commitment to quality is paralleled by their commitment to the environment. They are dedicated to bringing the highest quality to the market, with the least environmental impact. PakTech handles are made with 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin and the handles are 100% recyclable. Their carriers are repurposed from recycled HDPE #2 milk jugs. The PCR production process uses 100% less petroleum, 90% less energy, and emits 78% less greenhouse gases in comparison to virgin plastic production.
In 2018, an equivalent of more than 103 million plastic milk jugs were kept out of landfills, repurposed, and reclaimed as the resin that PakTech uses during the manufacturing process to create new packaging handles. In total, they have diverted 235,674,794 milk jugs from entering the waste stream, kept 14,612 tons of plastic out of the landfills and ocean and saved 12.47 acre feet of land from being used as landfill for waste.
PakTech handles make your wine cans easy to grab, carry, and remove. The carriers are attractive and feature a minimalistic design, highlighting your carefully created can artwork. While other packaging options wrap and surround your cans, PakTech carriers snap at the top so your brand won’t be covered or obscured. PakTech multi-pack handles offers improved consumer value and sales.
Available in more than 30 standard colors and custom color match, PakTech offers enhanced product value with a wide array of eye-catching color options. Your product will pop on the shelf with our color coordinated accent carriers while keeping can tops clean for the consumer. PakTech handles keep can tops clean and ready to open and enjoy.
For flexible production requirements, PakTech also offers automated application versatility. You can apply the handles by hand if you’re a startup or have a limited volume requirement. Or you can utilize their automated applicators ranging in speed from 120 cans per minute to over 1500 cans per minute if you have a higher speed operation. PakTech’s packaging solution is turnkey, making them the smart choice for your new, smart canned wine venture.
From design to final handle application PakTech’s responsiveness, rapid turn-around time, and comprehensive product offerings separates us from our competition. Tremendous value is what we offer and what we deliver, for our customers, our employees, and to the beverage and food industry.
