Genpak Reinvents Take-Out with Innovative Close-Off Dinner Container

Have you ever taken leftovers or a carry-out meal home in a portioned clamshell container, only to arrive home and find noodles in your dessert? It’s an unfortunate side effect of the segmented carry-out container, and one that restaurant owners try to circumvent with the use of portion containers and lids. While portion cups keep food where it belongs, it also equates to an added expense and another case of product in the kitchen.

Kutol Innovates and Improves Hand Care Products

Kutol Dispenser Upgrades When they received multiple comments that the base of the refill dock on the Counter-Mount Dispenser was causing some rusting issues, Kutol sought a solution.  They replaced the stainless steel sleeve with a chrome-plated pump housing, creating a more durable alternative.  Additionally, the pump assembly itself is now made of durable plastic parts. In addition to improving the pump, Kutol also eliminated the adhesive gasket on the base of the Pump Assembly, after determining that a bead of waterproof silicone caulk would hold up better over time.  For more information and a video tutorial, please see the...

One of the early harbingers of Spring is Earth Day, the annual celebration of conservation that has been observed on the 22nd of April every year since 1970.
