The waisted bottle features front and rear labels adapted to suit the shape and a screw cap with tear-off tamper-proof seal. Its bright red, strident colour and its waisted shape ensure that it stands out at the POS. www.juvaligne.com Bio-juice in PET Under the brand name of ”Pressade“ the French company Bricfruit, based in Chateau The- baud, is marketing one litre of bio- cranberry juice in a PET bottle. The belly area of the bottle is square in shape and is decorated with an all- round paper label. A green screw cap with tear-off tamper-proof seal puts the finishing touches to this modern bio-pack. www.pressade.fr Lightweight wine bottles Sutter Home Family Vineyards, based in St Helena, California, is the US wine industry’s leading producer of single-serve, 187-ml wines, with 38% market share and is growing annually at 7.3%. Total sales of 2.2 million cases are projected in 2011. Sutter Home began using Amcor’s barrier PET bottles as a glass replace- ment in 2005 and has switched its entire 187-ml production to the plastic containers. The bottles preserve the look of the original glass container and run on the winery’s existing glass filling line. KHS Plasmax Silicon Oxide (SiOx) barrier coating provides the 187ml PET container with the same shelf life as glass. Plasmax is an FDA-compliant enhanced passive bar- rier for oxygen-sensitive products. The ultra thin (less than 100nm) material is transparent and resists cracking, abrasion, and delamination. It does not degrade over time nor limit the storage time for empty bottles. It is easily removed during the recycling process and does not contaminate the recycling chain. The aluminium screw-cap bottle’s portability provides an entrée into venues that do not allow glass. U.S. airlines have strongly adopted PET bottles for in-flight refreshment. Sutter Home’s switch to PET also delivered sustainability benefits; PET containers are one-sixth the weight of glass bottles, unbreakable, less wasteful, and recyclable. www.sutterhome.com. www.amcor.com IN EVERY BOTTLE THERE IS ALL OUR KNOW HOW.
