In the interests of better positioning on the shelf, the base and cap areas of the bottle are designed in a square format. The green screw cap is easy to grip and is secured by means of a tear-off tamper-proof strip. www.carrefour.com Clear classic lines The German cult brand “afri cola“ – currently owned by Miner- albrunnen Überkingen-Teinach AG – has been also available for some time now in 1l PET bottles. The typical palm – associated with the brand image – is still recognisable, if only dimly, but the dark prod- uct can be identified immediately through the transparent bottle. A paper label on the belly of the bottle is colour coded to distinguish between the different variations and provides trading information. A screw cap with pull-off tamper- proof guarantee ring takes care of the necessary product security. www.afri.de Smooth-as-silk juice “Smooth-as-Silk Juice“ is the term used by the fruit juice producer Rapp´s Kelterei of Karben, Germany, to describe their orange juice in its 1l PET bottle.
