USA –Atlantic Packaging, an industrial packaging company, has introduced the Fishbone C-Clip, an upgraded version of its can and bottle carrier initially launched in 2020.
Designed with a second carrier layer, the Fishbone C-Clip ensures durability against potential tension loss or moisture exposure while maintaining integrity in refrigerated conditions.
Notably, this packaging innovation reflects Atlantic Packaging’s ongoing commitment to eliminating single-use plastics from the packaging supply chain, aligning with environmental sustainability goals.
Concerns over plastic pollution underscore the significance of such initiatives, with the UN’s Environment Program estimating that plastic debris claims the lives of over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals annually.
Offering both stock and customized options for banner display branding, the Fishbone C-Clip caters to various packaging needs.
Stock design options are available for 4-packs and 6-packs, which can be machine-applied using Atlantic’s specialized machinery, including the Snapper tool for manual applications, the BCF25 for semi-automatic applications, and the BCF-100 for high-speed applications.
Wes Carter, President of Atlantic Packaging, emphasized the environmental benefits of the Fishbone C-Clip, stating, “Traditional plastic ring beverage carriers have long been problematic for our natural world and contribute to direct entanglement or ingestion threats to land and water-based species. The Fishbone C-Clip provides a sustainable alternative and technical design.”
