The bottles with their individually distinct shapes and containing 250ml of product are closed by means of a colour-coded hinged lid which can be operated with one hand and is supported in its end position. Non-label look labels to front and rear convey the retail data. www.netto-online.de Haircare with argan ail Schwarzkopf & Henkel have recently been featuring a styl- ing oil for unmanageable hair in their range under the brand name of “Schwarzkopf got2b“. A small, handy PET bottle with a content of 50ml serves as packaging.

Despite offering 250ml more in terms of content, the bottle is no different as far as handling is concerned. The neck of the bottle has been moulded so that it grips easily and sits comfortably in the hand. For sealing the container there is a green pump dispenser complete with lock and this also provides a surface to which a sticker drawing attention to a recent “Good” test evaluation is securely attached. www.frosch.de
