Alpha is known as a manufacturer that serves the packaging needs of diverse markets, and one of the most challenging is the niche food and beverage market. Customers in this industry must weigh product shelf life, consumer convenience and distribution costs when they consider any packaging change. At Alpha, we work with food and beverage manufacturers to develop innovative and cost-effective packaging solutions to support their brand strategies.

One recent development for this sector is Alpha’s Get-A-Grip canister. The HDPE canisters, available in three sizes each with two different neck options, were developed for a company that wanted to sell its dry soup mixes in large quantities. The 2000cc, 2500cc and 3000cc canisters from Alpha feature a Gripper Panel on the sides to allow consumers to easily pick up and scoop product from the container. The line of canisters is ideal for any type of dry or powdered food products sold in large quantities, including soups, beans, rice and pasta mixes, sugar and spices, and powdered beverage mixes.
