Multipack carrier

Targeted at craft brewers as an alternative to paperboard multipack carriers is the BrandPak™ system, consisting of a top-lift handle, a glass-bottle ring carrier and a wraparound stretch band. The components are also cited for 4-, 6-, 8- and 12-can mutipacking. For both package types, the co. offers its codeveloped Ringmaster™ portable low-speed ring-carrier application machines, with 6-pack output rated for bottles at 10/min and 15/min for cans. Helps eliminate manual loading of board multipacks, conserve materials and reduce waste.
