Handleless Foodservice Jugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Handle-Free Juice Container Saves Space and Reduces Leakage

— February 6, 2016 — Lifestyle
It might seem essential for a one gallon juice container jug to have a handle, but Sugar Creek Foods Intl. proves that its packaging design is actually better off without one. This 'Super Jug' features a stackable design that features no protrusions on any of its sides. When it comes time to pour the contents of the jug out, users are simply able to hold onto the pinched-in sections at the top.

In comparison to traditional one-gallon jugs with handles, this design is able to occupy the space of three conventional handled jugs, which also plays a part in reducing packaging and the number of units involved in the transportation or storage of items like the frozen mixes the company uses for yogurt and ice cream.

In addition to being a space-saver for foodservice clients, this improved jug design is also a solution for preventing leaks from cartons and bags.
