PET bottles 26 PET planet insider Vol. 13 No. 12/12 www.petpla.net Beverages & Liquid Food Tamper-evident jars PET Power is adding a new round standard jar to its range, which it has branded Hestia Round 1,100ml. It has an 110SP400 T/E neck finish, which means it can easily be combined with five standard T/E closures from the PET Power range, including smooth or ribbed ver- sions. Both are available with single or double band; the double-band version leaves one ring on the jar after open- ing. The package is almost as tall as it is wide and PET Power maintains that the round shape gives the jar its own character. The company says that the jar is suitable for all kinds of food products and other articles for which the user requires visible evidence of previous tampering. Special options are available for brand identification. The jar can naturally be produced in any colour and finished with sleeves, screen print or adhesive label. The recessed presentation area can help to reduce damage to labels during transport. www.petpower.eu Italian apricot juice Being marketed under the brand name of SanAttiva is an apricot juice with fruit pulp to be found on retail shelves in Italy.
