One of the fastest growing segments in the food and beverage business is specialty or craft beer – micro-breweries, brew-pubs and the home brewing market. The beer aficionado uses a flint-glass 64-oz growler to take fresh draught beer from the tap and also to store the beer at home. Now, MJS Packaging has announced a new 64-oz PET growler in light amber as a viable substitute for comparable glass growlers.

This is a major industry break-through: no glass breakage ,a modified grip for easy handling and pouring, and of course, a much lighter beer carrier. In addition, the amber color protects the beer from direct light penetration. The PET Growler can also be taken to places where glass is not allowed, including beaches, parks, lawn concerts, and other outdoor venues.

Unlike the glass version, the PET growler allows for easier multi-pass decoration due to the addition of the registration lugs on the base, and it can also be labeled. Samples are available by contacting the company.

A major packaging distributor founded in 1885, MJS Packaging also operates Sprayco, a consumer products division, Packaging Consultants Group, a rigid packaging distributor in the Northeast specializing in pharmaceutical packaging components, and Dye Packaging, a recently acquired rigid packaging distributor in the Southeast.
