Issue 12:Set your creative team free!
Unleash your creative potential, trim costs and create dynamic shelf presence.
Want a custom designed package and the glossy look of PET but finding that it’s just too cost prohibitive? Did you know that O.Berk offers a proprietary process that adds color to clarified polypropylene (PP)? This colorful alternative to stretch blow PET provides the same shiny/glossy aesthetic at a substantially reduced developmental cost – up to 80% less!
The outstanding benefits of this O.Berk process include:
- The ability to change design, shape or neck finish as a result of easier mold changes
- Aesthetically appealing packaging that creates a strong shelf presence
- Option to incorporate a true handle or other unique design features
- Significant reduction in up-front mold costs compared to stretch blow PET and, in many cases, price per piece when compared to PET
From a sustainability perspective, clarified PP provides light weighting opportunities (it’s a lower density material) and an alternative to PVC with similar barrier properties. Because of its strength and flexibility, PP also possesses excellent environmental stress cracking resistance properties. And…when compared to most other plastics, PP produces the least amount of greenhouse gases per thousand pounds.
Lower development costs, environmentally friendly, and a real shelf pleaser – let O.Berk show you how this rare combination of attributes provides the perfect packaging option for the beauty/personal care and household/chemical markets.
PAST ISSUES
Issue 11:A Pail that Protects Products and Keeps Kids Safe
When it comes to storing hazardous materials, pesticides and pool chemicals, safety is always the number one concern - for both manufacturers and consumers. And that's exactly why more and more manufacturers are turning to the child-resistant/tamper-evident features of our durable HDPE plastic pails, available in six sizes, from .6 gallons to 6.5 gallons.
One of the highlights of this innovative pail is its easy open and close screw top that provides a moisture resistant, vacuum-tight seal. Its proprietary latch closure assures product quality and keeps little hands free from dangerous container contents. And…if your product requires adherence to U.N., DOT, or FDA specifications, it's safe to say that these pails are manufactured in adherence to the strictest standards required for many specialty items.
Other products that are suitable for these pails include pet supplies, agricultural products and supplies, paint, aquarium supplies and cleaning supplies.
Decorating options? There are an infinite number of exciting ways to "brand" these pails with your own unique identity. Both pails and screw tops are available in white only, but our decorating division can add your logo, give your pail overall color, or provide silkscreen and labeling services.
How can we help? Let us show you that we have the knowledge and experience to help you with your next packaging project.
Issue 10:Attracted to Airless...for all the right reasons
Airless technology offers unique appeal to the beauty and personal care industry, especially for viscous products that require precise, controlled dispensing.
Creams, gels, serums and lotions feel right at home with this dispensing technology. And, when products are preservative free, airless pumps protect contents that are easily contaminated when they’re exposed to skin or air. This feature is especially timely, given increased consumer preference for natural ingredients in skin care products. Airless pumps also satisfy the need to protect sensitive ingredients in anti-aging formulations that are popular with the baby-boom generation.
Key benefits of the airless pump include an airtight closure, high-performance design, dripless/leakproof dispensing and controlled product administration. These dispensers are capable of up to 99% product evacuation, a value-added benefit to waste-conscious consumers.
O.Berk features two airless dispensing solutions - the Pearl, available in white and natural, depending on size, and Pearl Mini, available in natural only. The Pearl is available in three sizes - 50, 100 and 150 ml. The Pearl Mini is also available in three sizes - 15, 30 and 50 ml.
And...you can give your Pearl and Pearl Mini airless dispensers an upscale look through O.Berk’s custom decorating division. Differentiate your brand on the shelf with frosting, silk screening or labeling services that give your product a contemporary look and feel.

Issue 1: Ordinary into Extraordinary...
O.Berk offers customization of stock bottles and jars.

Clear glass or plastic, bottles or jars, O.Berk can take these ordinary stock containers and create packages that stand out on the retail shelf. Easily with low minimums and no hassles. O.Berk can help you.
One solution is to apply Pantone color matching to the outside of the bottle in a number of versatile and visually appealing ways. Containers can be sprayed lightly with a transparent hue, dark and opaque, or anywhere in between. We can even provide metallic or fluorescent colors and gradient shading as well.
You won’t need to order large quantities to take advantage of this color customization. Spray-colored containers are available starting at a minimum of 2,500 pieces, compared to solid-color bottles that are manufactured with color resin, are available with limited options and require an order of at least 50,000 units.
