Graham Packaging Launches Search-and-Save Online Database of Containers


YORK, Pa., Jan. 23 -- Graham Packaging Company, L.P., has launched an online database that enables customers and potential customers to search the company's extensive catalog of stock containers and save the downloaded information and drawings in a password account.

The database is available at www.grahamcatalog.com.

"Now all it takes is a click of the mouse to explore your packaging options," said Ken Goldberg, manager of market development for Graham Packaging's Personal Care and Specialty Business Unit. "The site is easy to use, with step-by-step instructions."

The database includes stock container options for the food and beverage, personal and beauty care, household, chemical, and automotive lubricant markets.

Users can search by multiple criteria, including capacity, units of measure, material, shape, description, and neck finish.

Each search produces specifications, a detailed view, a printable PDF, a link to request additional information, and a link to obtain a sample.

Users can create a log-in name and password that allows them to save their search information for future reference.

"There are many size and design options even with stock containers," Goldberg pointed out. "In addition, stock items can be customized during molding in terms of color, texture, and gradation. We also offer world-class decoration services such as multi-pass silk screening, pressure sensitive label application, and hot stamping. The online database opens the door to a highly productive range of choices."
