Bangkok-based JCP Plastic Limited makes a variety of high-quality, world-class food-storage products at affordable prices. For its latest line of high-end Super Lock food boxes, JCP selected Eastman Tritan™ copolyester.

"Tritan is the best material for a new generation of consumers who are concerned with healthy living,” says Mr. Prakit Chareonchitmum, president of JCP Plastic Limited.

Preserving food quality and safety 
The selection of Tritan for its food containers is consistent with the company’s goal of providing consumers with a convenient way to protect food quality and safety. Tritan is a clear and durable polymer that is made without BPA.

The Super Lock food boxes also feature airtight sealing lids with snap-down buckles on all four sides to protect stored food. They also feature Microban® antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of bacteria—and keep stored food fresh longer.

Earning consumer confidence
JCP’s success aligns with the increased popularity of plastic containers in the region. Until recently, consumers associated plastic with scratched surfaces, chemical smells and off-tasting foods.

By using Tritan, JCP differentiates its Super Lock food boxes based on quality and healthy living. Tritan looks and feels like glass, while avoiding the extra weight and shattering risk associated with glass. It also helps prevent the high-quality containers from retaining the flavors and odors of stored foods.

Customers appreciate that the food boxes are manufactured in Thailand with Tritan that is made in the U.S.A. And retailers like the shelf appeal of the premium Super Lock products. JCP is currently expanding its product line and increasing exports throughout Asia as well as Australia and Europe.
