Chadwicks Created New Lids for Shotbox

Polyester as a lid material really is the future, as it offers numerous primary benefits such as improved graphics and printing, durability and easy-peel properties.

1 May 2010 --- Expert in polyester lidding Chadwicks has created a variety of attractive new lids for Bacchus’ ready-to-drink liqueur shot party pack, Shotbox.

Attractively packaged in a convenient carry gift-box, the Bacchus Shotbox contains 18 ready to drink split shot glasses of Bacchus premium and cream liqueurs.

Chadwicks supplies the 46mm printed polyester lids with PS lacquer in several vibrant colours to correspond to each of the gift pack’s six flavours – Cowboy, Cowgirl, QF, Choc Éclair, Pancake and Banana.

The lids are printed two colour using UV inks on MPS UV flexo narrow web and are pindot embossed.

With years of experience of working with polyester, Chadwicks is a market leader in providing expertise to the food, beverage and dairy sectors.

John Savage, Business Development Manager at Chadwicks in Australia and New Zealand, said: “Polyester is a choice material for many of our customers, who are quickly recognising the benefits of choosing the substrate for the packaging of their food and beverage products.

“Polyester as a lid material really is the future, as it offers numerous primary benefits such as improved graphics and printing, durability and easy-peel properties. Therefore not only will products jump off the shelves, they will also be very convenient for the end-user.”

The white surface of polyester provides an ideal surface for improved graphics and colour definition, whilst it is also available transparent and with partial heat seal lacquer. Its non-metallic properties make an ideal choice where end-of-line metal detection is required and is highly resistant to punctures and tears.

Luandina Neves of Bacchus said: “We approached Chadwicks due to its excellent reputation in supplying quality lids to its customers. Shotbox is a very popular product, so we wanted to work with an expert who could advise exactly on the correct types of materials and designs that would suit our product.

“We are very impressed by Chadwicks’ excellent customer service and we’re really looking forward to working with them on future projects.”
