The competitive dried fruit market requires a package that will preserve the product inside and stand out on the store shelf.  It must also have the compression strength required of a reusable container.

Composite cans possess the container strength and barrier required for dried fruit, but have limited graphic potential and the container cost is high.  Flexible packaging has improved graphics and barrier but it is not a convenient or reusable container.

The best option is a convolute canister formed on a PMC 1250 or PMC 1300 series machine.  Efficient enough for in-plant operations, these containers have a low forming cost, high quality graphics and are reusable.  Manufacturers appreciate the low container cost and package strength.  The consumer recognizes the quality graphics and barrier protection.
