Hall 9, Stand A04 PET angled for aroma The French aroma manufac- turer Vahiné of Avignon (Mc Cormic France) is selling 200ml liquid aromas such as vanilla or orange blossom in a coloured, angular PET bottle. This has a snap-on re-closable lid with a dispensing lip and tear-off tamper-evident security strip. An attractive front label pro- vides support for product and brand whilst informative rear labels supply the necessary product and retailing information. www.vahine.fr The taste of Shakeria “Shakeria“ is the name given by the Swiss retailer Migros to its new, foam- ing coffee drink, available in a number of differ- ent flavours. The shake packaging consists of a round, bulbous 250ml PET bottle with a screw cap. The bottle sports a pre-perforated shrink sleeve label by way of decoration which also extends to incorporate the cap. Before it can be opened the top section of the label has to be removed, in so doing disclosing a drinking straw stored located ready for use in an outer groove of the bottle. The straw is made up of two parts and is extendable. On insertion via the latch on the screw cap a small sealing membrane is penetrated. www.migros.ch Black for intrigue “Chino“ is what the Italian beverages manufacturer San Pellegrino of Milan calls its caffeine-free scene drink with the bitter taste of the Chinotto Orange. The drink is bottled into a black, bulbous PET bottle. The intriguing factor as far as the consumer is concerned is the dark colour of the beverage (reminiscent of Cola) and its unexpectedly bitter taste. The PET bottle is also decorated with a black shrink sleeve label and a printed, black screw cap with tear-off tamper-evi- dent security strip. www.fuoindalcaro.org
