Many companies, such as hair care spe- cialists Guhl Ikebana of Griesheim (the Guhl brand) or Wolf of Bielefeld (Alpecin brand) are offering the mini packs in crystal clear PET and in bottles shaped to look like their full-size counterparts. The small bottles are decorated with special small film labels and sealed with a screw cap. www.guhl.de Secure dispenser Beiersdorf of Hamburg have made their 150ml PET dispenser for the Nivea brand “Volume Sensation“ hair care products particularly safe against acci- dental actuation. The actuator incor- porates a clip-on security device that prevents it from being pressed down accidentally and so avoids any undesir- able spraying. The blue PET bottle is decorated front and back with “no-label” look labels. www.beiersdorf.de Push-pull in silver The Rossmann discount drugstore chain of Burgwedel in Germany is selling their own-brand hair shine balm in a 150ml PET bottle with a high quality silver effect screw-on push-pull cap.
