Refresh. Replenish. Reinvigorate.
Today, getting satisfaction on-demand is simply irresistible to consumers who are on the go. And when it comes to beverages, they want FRESH. And they want it now.
That's where Pop N' Shake makes a splash.
Pop N' Shake is a patent-pending closure technology allowing consumers—from kids to seniors and everyone in between—to create their own blended drinks when and, most importantly, where they please.
Here's how it works
With the turn of a beverage cap and subsequent pop of the chamber, activation occurs and consumers watch a favorite flavor, vitamin or mineral fuse with their preferred, bottled drink. A few shakes later and voilá—they're able to enjoy a great tasting beverage fortified with healthy active ingredients.
Pop N' Shake technology makes all the difference
A unique dispensing closure system designed, developed and produced by Erie Plastics, Pop N' Shake incorporates advanced, first-of-its-kind technology that places it above the competition and yields:
- Dual tamper-evident design
- A patent-pending moisture and oxygen barrier securely separating active and inactive ingredients and prolonging shelf life
- Micro-dosing of liquid or powder ingredients
- Allows for accurate measurement for specific fortification
Pop N' Shake parts and processes
The Pop N' Shake closure system consists of these parts:
- Shell—holds the chambers securely in place and incorporates a tamper-evident band
- Chamber—holds ingredients and includes a coated, aluminum foil seal, providing the moisture and oxygen barriers necessary to keep ingredients fresh until the precise moment of consumption
- Dust Cover—the closure is capped off with a dust cover/tamper evident security system
At Erie Plastics, we utilize leading-edge tooling with the most sophisticated hot runner/valve gate systems available to produce Pop N' Shake components—allowing for reduced cycle time, valuable cost savings and optimal part quality.
By developing the closure system, manufacturing its parts, and designing and building the fill, seal and assembly equipment, we've created a vertically integrated closure system as well as an efficient, turn-key solution for beverage manufacturers.
