SubscribeInnovative plastic packaging: Market leader Jokey presents the square bucket
Do buckets really always have to look like buckets? No, says the firm Jokey, which, with a daily production of four million units, is one of the leading European manufacturers of plastic containers. It is true that the general idea of the shape of a bucket is clearly defined: a cylindrical, hollow body, usually slightly convex, with a round bottom.
But, for a long time, there have also been buckets with oval and rectangular bottoms, as any DIY fan who has ever bought a bucket of paint can confirm. Now Jokey has launched another innovation on the market that will shake up the traditional idea of the bucket: a bucket with a square bottom. And there is a whole series of them.
The new buckets are available in three sizes with capacities from 3.5 to 10.8 litres. The special advantages of the square base are obvious: the buckets are compact, easy to stack and provide optimum space utilisation, saving the packager logistics costs in transport and storage. Jokey's bucket designers have also made sure that everything works well in practical use.
From the easy-to-open and securely reclosable lid to the closely fitting carrying handle which does not detract from the view of the decoration surface, they have thought of everything. For this is another important advantage for packagers: the square buckets can be used as large area information and advertising media, even the most modern decoration processes such as In Mould Labelling being possible. The front face is flat, so it is ideally suited for effective product presentation on the sales shelf.
The innovative shape of the new bucket series automatically catches the eye of the consumer and offers the packager new market opportunities at the point of sale. Like all plastic packaging from Jokey, the square buckets fulfil the strictest international food hygiene standards, so they are ideally suited for the packaging of foodstuffs and delicatessen products.
Packagers can order samples of the new buckets, supplied under the series name JETQ, directly from the manufacturer. More information is available in the Internet at www.jokey.com.
