RPC Containers Oakham has unveiled its latest plastic paint can, the Supertainer, which offers improved aesthetic features and reduces carbon footprint, while sustaining the same size for effective on-shelf storage and logistics.
The Supertainer
The Supertainer illustrates the commitment of RPC Oakham for providing superior packaging solution for surface coating products. According to RPC Oakham’s Technical Manager, Brian Edwards, the company has been producing plastic cans with straight-sided designs for more than three decades; however, the Supertainer is a future-generation product.
The Supertainer is a not an over-engineered product. RPC Oakham designed the product based on comprehensive real-world research, which made its production staff and designers to compare the real-time performance of the can in the market and find the possibility of reducing the amount of raw material needed for can production. This resulted in reduced carbon footprint.
RPC Oakham has assessed the performance of the Supertainer for nearly 18 months by investing significantly on production lines. The investment includes new machine designed particularly to manage self-adhesive labels and in-mould labeling, demonstrating the company’s commitment in providing striking aesthetics.
