BRIEF HISTORY

From the late 1940’s the paste type hand cleaner industry was using metal lithographed cans and lids for their 4 ½ lb and 1 pound can sizes. Metal cans were plagued by rust problems in the seams and lid fit. Labeling the cans was a costly multistep operation requiring large minimums with long lead times.

In 1980 Specialty Container was formed as a plastic container manufacture to produce and decorate plastic cans and plastic lids as a solution to the rust and labeling problems.

In 1986 developed quart and gallon plastic containers for the national mastic floor tile industry.

In 1987 designed and developed a dispenser for paste type hand cleaners and added numerous other plastic can sizes.

In 1988 continued to expand by adding more presses to our off-set lithography capabilities.

By 1989 branched into other markets in a major diversification of products including grease, cosmetic, janitorial, powdered cleaners, and additional paste soap plastic containers.

In 1990 entered the commercial ink plastic container market with the addition of 1 lb and 5 lb plastic ink cans.

In 1993 additional ink cans were developed with the addition of “impact resistant cans”. Plastic ink cans that can be dropped or handled more roughly without rupturing.

During the late 1990’s entered the “wipe” towel dispensing market with the introduction of various pre-moistened towel plastic dispensing lids for plastic containers.

In 2000 started purchasing plastic feed stock in rail cars to lower cost.

In 2005 moved into the automotive / marine / aircraft /paste wax markets with improved closure designs and customized containers.

2007 Specialty Container's quality management system became ISO 9001:2000 certified.

2008 continues to expand with the addition of more production capabilities and the addition of the latest high tech dry offset lithography printing presses.

2009 ISO 9001:2008 became our new certification.

2009 developed commercial ink containers to meet the requirements for both “standard” and “UV” ink formulas.

2009 began utilizing the 3-D CO2 laser abrasion below surface printing plates known as (Stealth Screening)
