In-Mold Label Solution Reduces Package Cost and Slashes Fill Line Down-Time

Nestle USA Beverage division approached Gateway Plastics with the challenge of improving the quality and sustainability of Nestle Quik retail packages while maximizing line up-time at their plant. Gateway, known for innovative solutions, more than met the challenge. Gateways solution provided a better container and lid fit, and fill line down time was substantially reduced by eliminating problematic labeling equipment.

The new Quik containers (21.8 oz and 10.9 oz) are injection molded on state-of-the-art molding machines using advanced automation for

in-mold label placement through final palletizing operations. Parts are never touched by human hands.

In addition to eliminating secondary labeling operations, the new containers are dimensionally more consistent than the old blow molded models. Resin content has been reduced by 5% and the in-mold labels provide for superior retail shelf presence.

Gateway Plastics is more than just a closure supplier. We provide total innovative solutions for your packaging needs that not only improve shelf presence, but reduce customer costs.
