BOTTLES 45 PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 06/13 www.petpla.net Upbeat protection Upbeat drinks, recently launched by the Good Whey Co, part of British family-owned business, Volac, are the result of intense research and development intended to create a tasty dairy drink that is also full of essential protein, the company says. Good Whey wanted the packaging for the 250g servings to project a premium image and, at the same time, provide effective protection from UV light degradation. The company selected a custom-designed PET bottle with a tapered waist; CCL Decorative Sleeves developed a full-body shrink sleeve label in white cavitated PET, to ensure opacity. The sleeves are printed with a UV absorbing lacquer, wrap tightly around the contours of the bottle and are flexo-printed in nine colours. CCL Decorative Sleeves was selected for the project because of its technical knowledge and its ability to provide customer support during product devel- opment. www.ccllabel.at Rice wine The Korean company Koreawine is packaging 1l of rice wine with a 6% alcohol content in a white- tinted, waisted PET bottle. The opaque bottle protects the product from light, thus increasing the possible stor- age times. Before enjoying the wine, the bottle must be shaken well so that the heavy constituents are mixed with the rest of the product. A white foil label in the middle of the bottle and a screw cap (also white) with tamper- evident strip round off the appearance. www.koreawine.co.kr
