Another proud moment for PakTech: we’ve been officially nominated for the 2026 USA Awards in the EcoHealth category, which celebrates solutions that unite environmental sustainability with human health.

It’s easy to overlook the packaging industry’s role in building a healthier future, but smarter choices in materials and processes can make a meaningful difference.

PakTech’s handles are made from 100% recycled HDPE and are recyclable, while our NIR-detectable black handle technology helps improve sortability in recycling streams. Together, these innovations help reduce reliance on virgin plastic and support circularity – an approach backed by independent validation including Sphera and SCS Global Services.

“We are honored by this nomination from Galien Foundation, and proud that our commitment to using 100% recycled HDPE and developing NIR-detectable handles has been recognized by the EcoHealth Chair Committee. Their dedication to innovations advancing both sustainability and human health aligns with our mission and the progress we’re driving in sustainable secondary packaging,” says Gary Panknin, Supply Chain Manager at PakTech.

The channel is one of the biggest growth opportunities for consumer brands right now.

📈56% of US consumers hold a club store membership.* Combined, Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's represent $308.7 billion in annual sales.** The opportunity is huge, just as the stakes are high.

After all, club stores operate on a high-volume, no-frills model where performance and efficiency are key. Products need to arrive floor-ready, move fast through the system, and require zero intervention. One failed launch due to multipack non-compliance or damage could set you back significantly.

The brands that succeed plan ahead. They build specifications around retailer requirements from day one, pressure-test across real distribution conditions, and choose materials that hold up through every stage of the supply chain journey.

That’s why we've put together a practical guide to help you get it right from the start. Check out our must-know insights to secure your club store launch - from retailer specifications and supply chain stress points to an actionable performance framework and step-by-step checklist.

Our handles are making waves in more ways than one with this upcycled PakTech art sculpture.

We're excited to see PakTech handles repurposed as part of this stunning sea turtle sculpture unveiled at the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky. Created by students at Springer School & Center in Cincinnati, using more than 140 pounds of recycled materials, the sculpture is a powerful reminder that materials don't have to end their journey after their first use; they can be transformed into something meaningful that inspires others.

At PakTech, we design our handles from 100% recycled HDPE because we believe recycled materials have lasting value. Seeing our handles repurposed into a work of art that raises awareness about ocean conservationand sustainability is a perfect example of the endless possibilities of a circular economy.

Here's to giving materials a second life—and inspiring the next generation to do the same.

Some of the best packaging is the kind consumers barely have to think about.

Minimal in design. Convenient in use. Putting the spotlight on the product itself.

The best packaging effortlessly supports the experience, from purchase to enjoyment.

At PakTech, we design handles that make it easy to grab, carry, and share while supporting a more circular future with 100% recycled materials.

Simple. Functional. Designed for the moments that matter.

This , we celebrate the theme “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.”🌍

It’s a timely reminder that protecting our climate goes beyond reducing emissions. In fact, it's about rethinking the systems behind the choices we make every day. And the packaging industry has a big role to play in this shift. Not through lofty pledges, but through data-backed solutions that close the loop day after day and help fuel the . That’s why our durable rHDPE multipacking handles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic – repurposed from post-consumer milk jugs and household containers – and are fully recyclable, supporting a circular economy.

Since using 100% recycled HDPE, we've repurposed over 1.2 billion milk jugs and saved over 167 million pounds of plastic from landfills and oceans, as verified by third-party life cycle analysis. Now that's a closed loop in action🙌

When demand outpaced production, PLD needed a solution—not a capital expense.

Their existing equipment maxed out at 20 cases per minute, while customer demand required 30. By partnering with PakTech, PLD increased throughput, met sustainability goals, and modernized operations without a major upfront investment.

Here's how:
✔️High-Speed Automated Application: The MPA 30i Flex applied handles consistently at line speed, eliminating the downtime and manual rework PLD's previous machine required.

✔️100% Recycled & Recyclable Handles: PLD met Walmart's sustainability requirements and became a landfill-free facility — without paying a premium.

✔️Lease-to-Own Financing: PakTech amortized the cost of the machinery directly into PLD's long-term handle program. Minimal upfront capital. Full equipment ownership at the end of the term.

✔️Hands-On Engineering Support: A PakTech technician had the equipment running within two days of arrival, with ongoing modifications as PLD's needs evolved.

The result: greater efficiency, increased production capacity, and sustainability goals achieved—all without a large upfront investment.

We’re excited to share that we’ve signed the ReMade in America Pledge ♻️

This pledge reflects our commitment to a circular economy where materials are reused, recycled, and kept in motion right here in the U.S.

When we design products with their next life in mind, we reduce waste and strengthen American communities.

Because what’s made in America can be ReMade in America.
