Plastican Inc. has introduced a new line of plastic pails with convenient Twist-and-Lock lids. The new patented closure system is currently available for 3-, 3½-, and 5-gallon plastic pails, and delivers superior end-user convenience, safety, and reliability. Twist-and-Lock containers open with a push of a tab and a twist of the plastic lid. Closing is even easier — just twisting the lid locks it in place. Additional sizes will be available in the near future. Twist-and-Lock containers are 100% recyclable and strong enough to allow stacking. They also pass child-resistance and senior-friendly protocols and meet United Nations performance requirements. Plastican offers four decorating/labeling options for Twist-and-Lock containers: offset printing, silk-screen printing, pressure-sensitive labels, and the innovative heat transfer printing which provides photo-quality graphics and a bar-code scan rate of 100%. Plastican works closely with each customer to help choose the graphics and decorating process that best enhance the container’s visual appeal.
