Tink’s has been “America’s #1 buck lure” for over 40 years. The Pocketshot was a new product to be launched once the right packaging could be found. Tink’s wanted a compact size small enough to keep in a pocket for quick access. The trick was to find a user-friendly way to secure the bottle from falling out of the hunters’ pockets – especially when they could be 30-40 feet up in a tree!
Located near the Great Lakes, our customer manufactures marine grade epoxies for use worldwide in boat building and repair, architectural restoration and high-tech aircraft. Pipeline was invited in the summer of 2011 to walk through their plant with the plant manager.
Our customer, the largest manufacturer of topical analgesics in the US, faced significant competition in the sunscreen market. They planned to re-launch one of their primary line of products, but wanted a custom bottle. It would need to stand out from other packaging as well as communicate the unique qualities of their combined water-repellent sunscreen and insect deterrent.

"I have been involved in the supply chain side of the chemical industry for over 25 years. Price is important but not always the driving factor on deciding who I choose to do business with. What is more important to me at multiple levels is having clear, truthful, open communication. It is critical for me to make educated decisions based on the information received to avoid distractions and potential manufacturing downtime. I can honestly say that dealing with Sharon has exceeded expectations. Her communication has always been timely, honest, and clear, never leaving me to second guess if my needs were understood."
