The revolutionary foil SYMBIOSIS is made primarily from paper, combined with aluminum — a sustainable innovation designed to elevate your bottles.

Maverick Enterprises Inc., a secondary closure company servicing the wine, distilled spirit and specialty food industry, is pleased to introduce 4-color process technology as their newest capability.

This process is done by using four primary colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black or CMYK to reproduce photographic quality on a capsule with elaborate, brilliant colors.  With these 4 colors customers can create a capsule that pushing the boundaries of what a rotogravure press can accomplish with standard printing by reproducing nearly any color on a capsule in the most complex designs in printing.

This process is a great advantage to customers as "Very few, if any, suppliers are using an ink system that is capable of producing this process on substrates like poly and PVC in our industry" according to Scott Rogers, Printing Dept Manager.  This process will help customers achieve a capsule that stands out on the shelf from their competitors and really shows off it's true colors.

Maverick is pleased to announce we continue to improve our green efforts in the packaging industry, not only in our manufacturing of custom and stock closures, but also in our packaging going out to our customers in our new Maverick Boxes.

This week Maverick is launching its two newest boxes out into production as we continue to improve and provide our customers with a sustainable, high quality box to transport customer’s capsules to them.  These two boxes, our newest Champagne box and a longer eco box, give our customer’s a 100% recyclable box, printed using soy based inks, improved stacking for better performance, and redesigned box style for easier assembly and more reuses.

Another great feature of these boxes is its recyclable quality. Maverick has had in place for many years within its green initiative, a recycling program with our boxes where we can have as many as 7 or more uses from each box as we work with our customers to pick up all empty boxes and return them to our Ukiah facility for reuse.  These newest boxes will stand the test against even more uses then before and overall quality improvements our customers have come to count on.

Taking into account the environment our supplier Capital Corrugated & Carton is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified and also works with the Safe Forest Initiative (SFI).  To make sure that all of their efforts in manufacturing are renewable Capital has created a Tree Planting Program and for each box made they plant 4-5 trees to continue the cycle of a sustainability in the environment. More information about their many affiliations with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition and more can be found on at www.capitalcorrugated.com/affiliations.html.

Sustainability is a large part of Maverick as we continue to raise the bar in our industry to maintain and improve our green efforts. We are thrilled to be able to bring more of this element into our boxes and to our customers everywhere.

At Maverick we strive to manufacture and produce the very best capsules on the market.  Maverick has been in business for over 20 years now and continues to produce the highest quality capsules you can depend on for the wine, distilled spirits, and specialty foods industries.

We design and manufacture custom capsules for your branding needs and have designers standing by to help you with your newest projects or even to re-create and refresh your current projects.

Also on hand, Maverick carries stock capsules for the ease and convience of our customers who may want varying amounts of capsules, colors, and sizes.  For our customers we offer high quality stock capsules that can be purchased by the box for a cost effective closure and can be found on our web store at www.mavericaps.com/webstore.

Maverick is pleased to announce that we have hired Natalie Higley, as a customer care representative and newest member of our Maverick team.  Natalie comes to us with an experienced customer care and administrative background most prominently in the technology industry.  She exemplifies very detailed and efficient customer service, analytical reporting and organization, with a broad spectrum of knowledge to work with our customers.  Maverick welcomes Natalie to our team as we look forward to continuing to provide the best customer service in the packaging industry.  

In 1992, Maverick Enterprises, Inc. was founded with the goal to domestically produce capsules for the wine industry in the United States with nothing, but the best quality on the market.

Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, had banned the use of lead in all capsule products, so the wine industry was looking to international sources to fulfill their beverage closure needs.

When Maverick came into the market and began its domestic production with just one forming machine they manufactured over 20 million state of-the-art, non-lead capsules in their first year.

Enticing the domestic market to look at their business models and change to a domestic supplier for faster turnaround times and higher quality, Maverick became the supplier of choice.

That was just the beginning.

“Now we produce over 3.5 million capsules per day,” Shelby White, Maverick Enterprises, Inc.’s Marketing Coordinator proudly proclaims.

“We’re a fully vertically integrated facility,” she explains. “We do everything ourselves; printing, slitting, converting and shipping – and all at our Ukiah location in northern California.”

Maverick produces capsules in five, primary substrates that allow for maximum flexibility and creativity to meet its customers’ diverse needs. They include:

• Polylaminate – comprised of a three-layer aluminum-polyethylene skirt and an aluminum top disc. They provide a professional and cost effective packaging solution.
• Almost Tin Premiumâ„¢ – comprised of a more premium three-layer material that is a great recyclable and less costly alternative to tin capsules. This substrate bridges the gap between polylaminate and tin capsules for a fraction of the cost allowing for maximum malleability in a poly capsule.
• PVC/PET (G) – comprised of a PVC skirt and an aluminum top disc. The option of a bio-based, eco-friendly and compostable PVC alternative in PET(g) material can be provided as well by Maverick.
• CapASleeveâ„¢ – an alternative PVC capsule without a top disk to display any possible custom T-closure. Artwork can be printed on the skirts for a custom CapASleeveâ„¢ or stock options are also available.
• Champagne – comprised of a three-layer, polylaminate body and an aluminum top disc to provide a clean and premium finish to champagne packaging. A mirage of hot stamping and printing options allow for one of a kind customization.

“Our talented Design Team works with existing brand designs or can help create completely new artwork to give our customers an exciting new package design,” White affirms. “We’re always looking for new and innovative ways of providing packaging to our customers to help them succeed; coupled with high-level attention to detail, our customer service and quality products make the difference.”

In addition to custom capsule options, White points out that Maverick has a stock capsule program, which allows customers to purchase smaller quantities for special reserve brands or varietals that may require just one-color, more simple designs. This allows Maverick to help customers big and small to meet their diverse packaging needs.

On October 16, 2017 Maverick’s MavGreen Earth Program began with the idea in mind to continue our responsibility to lead in an effort for a sustainable green company in packaging for the wine industry.

The newly formed company, Green Earth Solutions, has partnered with Maverick to help bring recycling to Ukiah and surrounding Northern California locations by allowing Maverick to begin recycling stretch film per the State of California standards as managed by Cal Recycle, corrugated cardboard and upcycling our wooden pallets.

As part of the Cal Recycle program, Green Earth Solutions' Adam Hewitt, pictured above in the middle accepting an award from Maverick on his work in sustainability with our team and pictured to each side of him is Alia Diaz, Purchasing Generalist and Adrian Lopez, Strategic Sourcing Manager for Maverick presenting the award. Hewitt, has said his company is one of only two companies in the state the reports directly to California on recycling and is the only company located in Northern California to be recognized.

Since the inception of this program at Maverick and the newly formed business, here have been numerous companies in the Ukiah area alone that are working on their sustainable efforts. Through this same process Pamela’s Products, Rainbow Ag, Mendo Mill, Willits Unified School District, and Northbrook Health Care that are large supporters and businesses in the community and other smaller companies that have begun their own programs giving back to the environment.

Maverick is fortunate to have created this new program in our sustainability initiative and have seen in just a mere 3 months the following which is helping us change the way we recycle:

• 56 Tons of Stretch Film Recycled

• 7 Tons of Cardboard Recycled

• 407 Pallets Upcycled

Through our MavGreen Earth Program this has resulted in the following positive environmental impacts:

• 119 Trees Saved

• 101,000 Gallons of Water Saved

• 789 Barrels of Oil Saved

• 1,398 cubic yards of landfill space saved

• 255,600 KWH of energy saved

Maverick’s continued dedication to sustainability provides our team a wealth of resources, helping to create a positive impact and giving back to the earth in a monumental way. With these results forecasting only a 3 month period Maverick looks to create a future that for our company that consistently delivers results and improvements in sustainability.
