Plastipak and AriZona Beverage partner on ThermoShape
Plastipak is partnered with AriZona Beverages to commercialise the first ThermoShape system in the U.S. The project came to life when AriZona challenged Plastipak to deliver a hot fill PET package while maintaining the look and feel of its iconic glass packaging.
AriZona wanted the ability to be able to run on existing hot fill lines, and provide barrier protection to maintain the taste of the beverages. Utilizing Plastipak’s proprietary ThermoShape and DiamondClear barrier technologies, they were able to deliver on all of these requests and create a smooth wall, hot fill, extended shelf life, in a lightweight, recyclable PET container. It is able to maintain the value of product while upholding the cost required to support AriZona’s marketing and supply chain needs.
