Council awards paperboard excellence

A beverage carrier used by High Falls Brewing Co., Inc., and a paperboard medical device created for Thayer Medical, Inc., won the two top awards in the 60th National Paperboard Packaging Competition of the Paperboard Packaging Council (Alexandria, VA).

Pw 14773 Duralift1

For its 12-pack bottle configurations, Rochester, NY-based High Falls Brewing is using the Duralift™ beverage carrier (see: packworld.com/go/c073) designed by MeadWestvaco’s Smyrna, GA, plant. According to PPC, the carrier is designed to run on High Falls’ existing machinery and packaging lines. By using a 21-pt board rather than a 27-pt structure, more carriers fit into a case and onto a pallet, reducing shipping and warehousing costs. The Duralift carton (above and below left) also offers a unique handle for consumer convenience. The coated natural kraft (CNK) board is said to be effective on web- and sheet-fed presses. These attributes helped MeadWestvaco earn the competition’s President’s Award, the top honor.
