PET bottles 52 PET planet insider Vol. 12 No. 04/11 www.petpla.net Children’s drink easy-to-open Schwollener Sprudel, based in SW Germany, has recently launched a new drink for children, in partnership with Mainz- based Sonic Drink Marketing. Based on mineral water with natu- ral fruit juice and available in apple, orange and cola flavours, the new line is packaged in a 0.5l yellow PET bottle, featuring popu- lar cartoon character SpongeBob Square Pants on the label. The bottle is capped with a bi-colour 28mm Original Sport Cap with matching yellow spout from Aptar Food + Beverage. Schwolle- ner Sprudel chose the Original Sport cap for its combination of technical performance and colour flexibility. The tight seal of the closure and easy opening and closing are essential factors when designing a product for children. www.aptar.com Blauer Bock in a PET Bottle 1.5l of “Blauer Bock“ apple wine spritzer is being marketed by Landkellerei Höhl of Maintal in a clear, no-deposit PET bottle.
