The bot- tles are designed to be reminiscent of school science lessons and based on the flask, bottles and test tubes used by chem- ists. The range comprises the 300ml Florentine Flask; 300ml Erlenmeyer Flask; and 250ml Test Tube Bottle. M&H says that the bottle shapes are suitable for personal care products and for other market sectors such as pet care, automotive and food & beverages. www.mhplastics.com Odol-med 3 with waist GlaxoSmithKline is marketing its Odol-med 3 white velvet polar fresh mouth rinse for complementing the daily mouth hygiene routine in a waisted PET bottle containing 500ml of product. The clear bottle fea- tures a stylish embossed seal in the base area and a shrink sleeve label with a colour gradient acts as the vehicle for transmitting usage and retail information. The sleeve label, which is stretched over the dispens- ing screw cap, is torn off along perforations at the time of first opening, making it easy to establish whether there has been any prior tampering with the product. www.odol-med3.de Exotic hand soap Palmolive have expanded their successful range of fragrances ‘Ayurituel’ with a liquid hand soap. The variant shown here, which goes by the name of ”energy“, with extracts of Indian sandlewood and honey, is reported to have an invigorat- ing effect. The transparent bottle made from PET is reminiscent of the shower gel bottle from the same product range, but is fitted with a lockable pump dispenser for extract- ing the liquid soap. A shiny metallic, teardrop-shaped label to front and rear, which gives an exotic effect, completes the 250ml content pack. www.palmolive.eu.com
