Roberts PolyPro to Showcase Biodegradable Handles & Introduce PCR Carriers at PACK EXPO

Sep 24, 2025

Roberts PolyPro, manufacturer of bottle and can multipack solutions and application systems, announced the expansion of its sustainable packaging portfolio with the addition of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. The company will exhibit at PACK EXPO 2025, taking place September 29 to October 1 at booth #W-1110, where it will showcase live demonstrations of its SSMA20 applicator and provide bottle and can carrier samples.

Building on its leadership in certified biodegradable packaging, Roberts PolyPro is proud to now offer PCR multipack carriers across all product lines for both bottles and cans. This addition provides beverage brands with new options to support ESG and sustainability initiatives, helping meet customer expectations.

Additionally, Roberts PolyPro recently introduced two solutions for can multipacking. Craft-Pak® Versa carriers are compatible with most applicators on the market, eliminating the need for capital investment. With the company’s West Coast expansion, these handles are now available with faster turnaround. For customers moving from manual to automated application, the VPA-80 applicator is priced around $11,500. Paired with Craft-Pak Versa carriers, the system can deliver ROI in as little as one year.

“We’ve always been committed to providing solutions that help customers achieve their operational and sustainability objectives,” said Michael Black, Vice President & General Manager at Roberts PolyPro. “We offer biodegradable options, and with the addition of PCR, we’re giving customers even more ways to reach their goals without compromising quality or performance.”

Those attending PACK EXPO 2025 will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations of the SSMA20 applicator which applies bottle and can handles in a quick and seamless multipacking process. Visitors can pick up carrier samples at Booth #W-1110. Those unable to attend may contact the company to request samples or schedule a meeting.
