Smart Seal Plastics Packaging Container

Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Letica Corporation presents a rigid plastics packaging container that virtually eliminates tampering and is watertight even after reclosure.

Letica Corporation, the leader in Plastic and Paper Packaging, announces a new 1-gallon, rigid plastic package. The “1DC” dual-closure, Smart Seal* container, lid and handle package provides ease of opening and closing without tools and features a tamper evident tear tab lid. Pilferage of, or tampering with products inside the new container is virtually eliminated, since the tear tab must be removed before removing the lid. The gasketless lid gives a watertight seal even after reclosure, and the ergonomic plastics handle complements the package. A tapered configuration allows nesting of empty containers for efficient shipping.


New 1-gallon 1DC Smart Seal* container from Letica with tamper-evident tear tab lid, ergonomic handle, and color-coordinating options.

The 1DC Smart Seal* design yields attractive retail packages, with color-coordinated containers, lids and handles available in twelve standard colors or custom colors upon request. Decorative options include up to nine-color offset printing.

Smart Seal® Wide Market Applicability
Potential applications for 1DC Smart Seal* packages include containers for adhesives, lubricants, gypsum and similar solids, stucco, inks, paints, cleaning supplies, foods, drinks and drink mixes, flavorings, fruit, dairy products, pet foods, and other materials.

Freezer Drink Mixes in Smart Seal® Containers
El Paso Chile Company’s freezer drink mixes rapidly grew to be their top-selling product line after selecting Letica’s new 1-gallon Smart Seal* containers to replace a different package. The attractive appearance of the Smart Seal* package and its integral, tamper evident lid are especially appealing to retailers and end users. El Paso Chile packages its own and private label freezer drink mixes in the new containers. The end customer uses the Smart Seal® container for mixing, freezing, storing, and serving the slushy freezer drinks.


El Paso Chile Company freezer drink mixes packaged in Letica’s new 1-gallon 1DC Smart Seal* container areavailable in ten flavors.

Park Kerr, El Paso Chile Company co-founder and product designer, cites several advantages of Smart Seal* containers, “Letica containers are attractive, and the safety-seal closure system is particularly important to our customers, distributors and us. Also, there is no flavor contamination caused by the Letica containers, unlike the packages we used before.” Kerr says Letica service is exemplary. “Letica deliveries are on time and that’s extremely important for us. They’re a super company to work with.”

Each container of El Paso Chile freezer drink mix holds pouches of dry and liquid ingredients. The customer mixes the ingredients with water and spirits, then freezes the mix in the Smart Seal* container. Ginger ale or club soda can replace spirits for non-alcoholic drinks. The El Paso Chile freezer drink line has grown from three to ten variations.
