Clear plastic can
Sonoco has introduced TruVue Can, an alternative to the traditional metal can.
The clear, retortable plastic can, which combines the company’s patented Fusion Freshlock Technology, is made of a highly engineered, multilayer plastic substrate that allows consumers to see the product inside. It incorporates the easy-open metal lid and metal bottom that consumers prefer on a traditional metal can.
It is said to be the first clear plastic can to withstand the rigours of continuous retort systems without overpressure, performing in high temperature and high pressure environments. In addition, the construction of the TruVue provides a more uniform heating experience, a quicker retort cycle and greater strength performance throughout the supply chain, compared to competitive formats.
