Prior to the Entegris acquisition, ATMI had developed its next generation of photolighography chemical delivery systems. It was to replace the well-known, now antiquated NOWPak brand. While the NOWPak bottles were made of plastic vs. the glass bottles of its competitors, the cost and safety profiles, and chemical utilization performance, wasn’t where they needed to be for competitiveness. A new approach was developed.
With a harder plastic exterior and interior liner to hold the materials, it used a dip straw to suck the chemical material out. As the last of the chemicals was being used, the back shrunk around the straw, forcing the remaining chemistry to the bottom of the bag and at the tip of the dip straw. Utilization of the material went up to over 99%. The harder exterior wouldn’t crack or break when dropped, even when full.
We named and branded this product BrightPak, to represent smart packaging, and to become a sister brand to another new technology the company launched that we called BrightBlack.
The BrightPak logo reflected the overall shape of the bottle and packing in general. Since the bottles could be produced in different sizes, this formed the basis of how the logo would come together and would also be reflected in the implementation of other design executions.

As manufacturing workers often had to deal with broken glass bottles and toxic chemical spills as a result, creating new packaging to avoid the breakage was important. By using an inexpensive but sturdy inner plastic liner and dip straw, and relying on the vacuum suction produced by the machine that pulled out the chemical as needed, as well as through bottle manufacturing efficiencies, the company was able to compete well on price but offer virtually no chemical waste through high utilization, and provide a much stronger safety profile.
