New FSS22000 Standard for Closures Is Latest Achievement for Company

Anticipating a growing demand from its customers to provide food safety certification to meet the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act, G3 Enterprises Closure Division announced today that it has achieved Food Safety System Certification 22000 by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance.

Since the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act in 2011, considered the most sweeping reform of the country’s food safety laws, the food and beverage industries have begun requiring suppliers to provide food safety certification to ensure the safety of their products.  This has caused many suppliers to scramble in an effort to identify certification programs and begin the rigorous qualification process that G3 Enterprises has already completed.  

“Given our high standards for quality, we sought to have our risk management and quality assurance techniques reviewed, monitored and certified so our customers know that we have effective food safety management systems in place and operating,” said Tom Cook, Chief Operating Officer of G3 Enterprises.  He added, “We’re committed to providing our customers with the highest quality beverage packaging products and services.”

G3 Enterprises' closure division is the most integrated provider of closure products in the wine and spirits industries providing caps, corks, capsules, stoppers, crowns, and bar tops. As an ISO 9001 and 14001 certified manufacturer, G3 invests in the latest equipment and technology to meet evolving customer needs.

Focus on Innovation, Quality and Technical Services with New Offerings And Products to Be Introduced Throughout 2016

MODESTO, Calif.  (January 25, 2016) – G3 Enterprises is committing resources to provide totally integrated packaging solutions from grape to glass.  Their focus will be on innovation, quality and technical services to continue to meet the needs of the wine, spirits and beer industries.  Throughout the year, the company will offer expanded services and introduce new products to its customers.

“We exist for our customers to succeed, which is why we’re constantly looking to offer new products and services that give our customers a competitive advantage,” said Tom Cook, President and CEO at G3 Enterprises. He added, “At the end of the day, it’s our people who make the difference, so we’ll be offering our customers opportunities for greater access to our experts – giving them the benefit of our commitment to overcome any challenge and take advantage of every opportunity to grow and succeed.”

G3 Enterprises leverages its wide breadth of expertise to help wineries by focusing on innovation, quality and technical knowledge and services.  G3’s competitive edge goes beyond its uniquely wide range of products and services and focuses on its experienced employees who have accumulated knowledge across diverse businesses.  The company has provided manufacturers with value-added services such as pre-bottling line check-ups and set-ups. Additionally, G3 offers services to evaluate machine conditions and settings, improving bottling line efficiencies for established wineries and new start-ups.  G3’s team specializes in oxygen management in packaging components including cork, caps, glass, boxes, single-serves and PET kegs. G3 also performs process modeling and optimization using advanced analytics, and provides consultation and testing for all its packaging.

To kick off 2016, G3 teamed up with Petainer, a global PET and other plastics packaging business, to drive US expansion. The two partners announced they have launched a new blow molding hub in Modesto, California, which has the flexibility to mold kegs for wine, beer, cider and other beverages. The new operation is up and running to address their customers’ need for a flexible manufacturing approach and reduced logistics costs so they can react quickly to market demands.

The G3/Petainer partnership also offers a wine-industry first turn-key mobile kegging line to meet the growing popularity of wine-on-tap. Instead of the current practice of shipping wine offsite to be bottled, the new mobile keg bottling line comes directly to the customer’s location where the wine will be filled on-site into Petainer’s 20-liter one-way PET kegs. The winery customer will be in control of their keg filling and storage. G3 Enterprises’ team of experts will perform all quality monitoring and control including inspecting for dissolved oxygen every hour, checking for appropriate cap application and fill levels and monitoring filter pressures.

G3 Mobile Bottling prides itself on packaging flexibility, capable of handling bag-in-box from 1.5L through 5L, bottles from 50ml through 1.75L, Petainer kegs and the Zipz single-serve PET package.  G3 will be further expanding that flexibility with Guala Closures Group to become the first mobile bottler in California capable of applying Guala’s WAK closure, a torque-on cap with a unique patented internal thread.  G3 will offer this new service beginning in April, 2016.

The addition makes G3’s bottling operation the most versatile offering of packaging (GLASS, BOX, PET, KEG, and SINGLE SERVES) and closures in the industry.  “Agility and customer focus are part of our core values. We will continue to develop partnerships and provide creative solutions to the industry we serve,” concluded Cook.

At the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, January 27 – 28^th, G3 Enterprises will showcase a variety of products and services including its GSEAL OTR Controlling Liner Technology, G INK Decorative Technology, petainerKegâ„¢ and Alternative Packaging.  Additionally, G3 Enterprises will also have technical sessions at their booth #411 where customers can meet the experts.

MODESTO, Calif. (January 27, 2014) -- G3 Label Divisionannounced that it has earned the Forest Stewardship Councilâ„¢ (FSC) Chain of Custody certification from Scientific Certification Systems, one of the world’s leading FSC certifiers and one of FSC’s founding members. FSC provides third-party certification confirming that materials sold as Forest Stewardship Councilâ„¢ certified are harvested from well-managed forest operations.

G3 Label Division is a supplier of premium labels to the wine and spirits industries and is FSC certified on GTREE 100% Post-Consumer Waste premium wine label stock. G3 will have GTREE paper available at its booth, #443, at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, January 29-30.

The FSC label ensures that the fiber used to make the label has been tracked from certified re-pulping facilities (post-consumer waste paper that is recycled) all the way through the supply chain to G3 for the production of the labels.

G3 takes supplier responsibility seriously and holds its GTREE paper suppliers accountable for the source of their raw materials and requires third-party verification that the suppliers are in compliance with the FSC standards, says Brendan Kinzie, senior director of G3 Label Division.

Scientific Certification Systems is the leader in environmental and sustainability certification. One of the first certification bodies accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council in 1996, SCS has since certified more than 30 million acres of well-managed forests and 3000 companies in the FSC supply chain worldwide.G3’s trademark license code is FSC-C119052.

The strategy at G3 is to provide innovative cost-effective solutions ensuring the customer’s product success and improving their sales. G3 continues looking for creative solutions that perform as well or better than the industry standard. One such solution is GTREE® Paper; a 100% post-consumer waste label stock that performs well in the printing process and on bottling lines. To increase the consumer’s satisfaction even further, GTREE labels are proven to not grey and wrinkle in an ice bucket.

G3 understands that different wines have different ageing needs in the bottle. Light fruity white wines typically age best when very little oxygen is allowed into the package while very heavy red wines might need relatively high oxygen exposures. Due to the increasing popularity of a new lightly carbonated wine category, G3 has developed patent-pending cap liner technologies that control or minimize the oxygen transmission rate while retaining the wine’s carbon dioxide. Just recently introduced are G3’s GFresh® screw cap liners that hold carbonation while providing an oxygen transmission rate comparable to a SaranexTM cut-disk liner. In addition, to meet the cold, wet application required for bottling carbonated wines, GFresh PS labels are designed to work efficiently on surfaces with condensation.

G Inkâ„¢ is the latest innovation from G3 and is designed to revolutionize shelf impact. The G Ink features both Bichromic and Thermochromic capabilities, which means that it can change appearance depending on viewing angle or package temperature. This gives the bottle’s added dimension and engages the consumer.

“It’s been shown that if a consumer picks up a bottle off of the shelf, there’s a good chance they’ll buy it,” says John Cunningham, Director of Innovation and Process Improvement, “so, of course, we’re looking for ways to make our customer’s wine stand out in the store and at the cold box, increasing the likelihood it will be purchased.”

G Ink, just introduced at Unified Wine & Grape Symposium this year, opens a world of options for creative label and cap designs that catch the eye, engages the consumer, and even provides useful information such as when the bottle reaches ideal drinking temperatures. Since G3 produces both labels and caps, the G Ink creative options extend to the capsule printing too.

Cunningham continues, “The thermochormic and bichromic demo bottles at the Unified show are only a preview to the G Ink technologies. We welcome an opportunity to work closely with designers and wineries to develop unique and fully integrated bottle designs. The wineries know best what work with their brands. We are here to partner with them in providing unique creative techniques and making their products standout.”

Providing Customers with Superior Print Quality and Decorative Options 

MODESTO, Calif. (June 2, 2014) – G3 Enterprises has recently installed a new Nilpeter Flexo Press providing customers with the latest technology to meet the ever-changing demands of wine label designs.

The press was manufactured in Denmark by Nilpeter, the world’s leading manufacturer of printing presses for the wine industry.  Working with Nilpeter, G3 Enterprises was able to tailor the new press to meet its specific needs with the flexibility and print quality rivaling or exceeding that of offset printing.  G3 Engineers worked side-by-side with Nilpeter engineers to custom-build the new press to provide state-of-the-art printing solutions.

“The benefits this press provides us are tremendous,” said James Stone, G3’s New Business Development Manager.  He added, “Flat tooling gives wine label designers more creative license while allowing for a broader range in stamping and embossing to meet the more challenging label designs which, in the past, required special equipment for detailing.”

The advantages of the new press include auto side-to-side registration, increased pressure sensitive capacity and expanded print capabilities including flat foil and emboss tooling.  The new Flexo Press also provides better printing, better color control and eliminates any concerns about ink and water balance for high-quality wine labels.

 

Said Stone, “This new press is a game changer for our company and our customers as it provides an innovative, competitive edge to meet the industry’s growing label demands.”

MODESTO, Calif.  (July 15, 2014) – Responding to research indicating a consumer is more likely to purchase a bottle once they pick it up from a shelf, G3 Enterprises is now offering G Inkâ„¢ which is revolutionizing the consumer shopping experience and capturing international awards. 

The G Inkâ„¢ offers both Bichromic and Thermochronic ink options. The Thermochronic option allows a label or cap to change appearance at designated temperatures.  The Bichromic option provides a color shifting effect when the package is viewed at different angles. Recently, International Metal Decorators Association has recognized G Inkâ„¢ Bichromic Cap with two international awards – Best of Category Closures and Technical Achievement – at its 2014 International Metal Decorators Association Annual Conference.

“We are constantly working to develop ways for our customer’s wine to stand out from the competition whether on the shelf or in the store’s cold box,” says John Cunningham, Director of Innovation and Process Improvement.  He added, “G Inkâ„¢ gives added dimension to a bottle allowing it to make a statement among the sea of choices on the shelves.  It is opening a new world of options for creative label and cap designs that will not only catch the eye of the consumer but engage them with useful information such as when the wine in the bottle has reached the ideal drinking temperature.”

 

G3 Enterprises is working closely with designers and wineries to develop unique, integrated bottle designs to take full advantage of the G Ink technology.  For more information or request for samples, visit www.g3enterprises.com or email G3.info@G3Enterprises.com.
