  • Container Handling, Food, Inverting, Morrison CHS, Packaging, Processing, Twist Block

How do you prototype a twist solution for a uniquely shaped, unwrapped gum container? For one of the world’s largest confectionery manufacturers, Morrison engineered a custom Twist Block Prototype to evaluate if their six-pack gum product could be reliably oriented upright on a production line. This video captures how the prototype addressed container behavior, validated orientation mechanics, and set the stage for future production scalability.
