The re-emergence of individually sold confectionery has seen a growth in popularity of PET jars from RPC Containers Blackburn.

The lightweight and shatterproof qualities of PET provide a suitable material that is safe and easy to ship and handle, without the potential for breakage. In addition, PET benefits from excellent clarity, which ensures that consumers can see product contents on-shelf.

The success of RPC Containers Blackburn's PET confectionery jars has been underlined by their use for a range of products from What Next Candy.

The company specialises in novelty and character licensed confectionery but also manufactures a wide range of gift confectionery. What Next Candy recognised that the jar format would be ideal for the range, as the company's Logistics Manager, Sean Duffy, explains. "Jars are eye-catching on shelf but extremely practical in the home, as they are recloseable and even reusable once the contents have been consumed."

What Next Candy turned to RPC Blackburn for its expertise in injection moulded PET jars. The 3.4ltr and 4.5ltr jars are decorated with distinctive labels and supplied with a number of coloured lids from RPC Halstead to suit the company's branding requirements. The range – comprising toffee coated popcorn, Flying Saucers and chocolate balls – retails in a number of leading British high street stores, including British Home Stores.

RPC Blackburn can provide injection moulded and injection stretch blow moulded PET jars in sizes ranging from 250ml to 4500ml. In addition, RPC's capabilities as a single source supplier enable customers to choose from a range of caps available from RPC Halstead, whilst RPC Blackburn can offer a variety of decorative solutions, including sleeves and labels.
