Skoal Bandits packs update for summer

U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (USSTC) says it will launch new and improved Skoal Bandits® moist smokeless tobacco (MST) in canned pouches this August. Replacing the existing Bandits line, the new Skoal Bandits willl be sold in Mint and Wintergreen flavors. Twenty compact pouches of the new and improved Skoal Bandits, featuring 100-percent American-grown tobacco, will be contained in the brightly decorated, beveled polypropylene cans from Evco Plastics (www.evcoplastics.com), along with USSTC's advanced Flavor Flow™ pouch paper, to provide a more satisfying experience than the original. The sleek can and lid, printed in blue and green color schemes, are getting a facelift as well to correspond with the new flavors. The cans will be stamped with a "guaranteed-fresh-until" date (which means the product stays fresh for several weeks). The metal lids will be stamped and embossed in-house with the Bandits logo, and are produced by USSTC.
