Show Coverage: EastPack

EastPack, the East Coast’s largest packaging trade show, returns to New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on June 6–8.
Industry professionals will want to take note of the Cosmetic and Personal Care Packaging Pavilion sponsored by CPC Packaging. The latest designs for bags, cartons, jars, tubes, compacts, labels, closures, dispensers, and accessories, as well as machinery and services for producing packaging, will be on display in the Cosmetic and Personal Care Packaging Pavilion.
Beauty packaging professionals won’t want to miss CPC Packaging’s Editors’ Choice Awards display case, which will be located at the magazine’s booth (Booth #4322). This display will highlight the winners of the magazine’s 2006 Editors’ Choice Awards. (To find out more about the packages that will be featured, see our awards coverage in this issue.)

EXHIBITOR PRODUCTS
Plastic Ampule
A firm has introduced a smaller-sized version of its plastic ampule. The new ampule is designed for products that require an ampule size that ranges between the firm’s standard 2- and 5-ml ampule sizes. A range of applicator tips is available, including tips that are designed to apply product to a large surface area, a cylindrical tip with a centered hole for enhanced product flow, tapered tips for precise topical applications, and a series of brush applicator tips made in a variety of materials and styles. The ampule can be decorated in any Pantone Matching System color, and text can be printed in up to three colors. James Alexander Corp., Blairstown, NJ.
Booth #4261
Keltec Dispensers
A supplier has introduced its new Keltec dispenser line. The Keltec Light and Star dispensers feature bellows technology and feature fewer parts to make the dispenser more cost-efficient. The Keltec HH and TT foam dispensers are designed with a double-action chamber for optimal foam dispensing. The foam dispensers are fashioned to be waterproof and to prevent the dispensers’ metal parts from coming in contact with the product. The firm can provide a variety of bottles for the foam pumps. Decorating options include screen printing, hot stamping, and labeling. Kaufman Container, Cleveland, OH.
Booth #4239
Clear Cartons
A company specializes in producing eye-catching, transparent cosmetic cartons. Material options include PVC, PET, and polypropylene. Item styles range from folding cartons to blister packaging and die-cut plastic sheets. Decoration can be added using offset printing, silk-screening, hot stamping, and frosted finishes. HLP Clear Packaging Products Inc., Torrance, CA.
Booth #4133
Prefilled Applicators
Patented prefilled swab applicators are a convenient delivery system for private-label cosmetic and personal care products. The packaging is designed to be contaminant-free, easy to use, and to facilitate precise application. Each swab can hold 0.15 ml of product. The swabs are packaged in groups of 12, 24, 36, or 72. Each swab can be individually packaged in a polypropylene wrap. While these swabs are suited for low-viscosity products, the supplier offers other delivery systems for high-viscosity products such as gels, creams, and lotions. The firm is FDA-registered and GMP-compliant. Swabplus Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Booth #4343
Anticlog Pump
The Portable Anti-Clog pump is part of a supplier’s line of fine-mist sprayers and dispensing pumps. Designed to distribute product in a fine mist, the Portable Anti-Clog pump offers portability and ease of use. It features a relocking door that keeps product from leaking and also prevents the dispenser’s orifice from clogging with residual product. A 360º spray feature is also available for the dispenser. Emsar Inc., Stratford, CT.
Booth #4231
Amenity Bottles
A new line of small-sized bottles is suited for amenity products for the hotel, salon, spa, aromatherapy, cosmetic, and personal care markets. Made from clear PET, the bottles are available in five shapes, including round, oblong, and rectangle. Sizes range from 1 to 1.5 oz. Disc-top and flip-top dispensing closures can also be provided. Decorating options include frosting, custom coloring, and labeling. The Cosmetic Packaging Group, a div. of O. Berk Co., Union, NJ.
