PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 09/13 www.petpla.net BOTTLES 89 On-the-go wine glasses The wine producer Fetzer from the USA is selling red and white wine in PET containers shaped like a wine glass, each containing 187ml. The clear glasses, which are designed for use at functions, picnics or outdoor events, are already filled and securely sealed by means of a sleeve label so as to be leakproof. After opening and complete removal of the label, the demountable slip lid on the top is slid over the base of the glass and used as a stabiliser. There is also a sealing membrane at the top that needs to be removed prior to drinking. www.candqwines.com Proactive and reactive Natural mineral water with extra benefits due to the addition of vitamins is a trend that nearly all drinks manu- facturers are turning to their advantage. One example of this are two drinks currently being marketed under the brand name Rosbacher which is part of Hassia Miner- alquellen GmbH & Co. KG, “proactive“ with an apple flavour and a “reactive” variety flavoured with orange. “Reactive“ is claimed to reduce tiredness and fatigue, whilst “proactive“ is reputed to assist with energy metabo- lism. A rectangular PET bottle with rounded corners and with 1.5 litre content serves as packaging. Reinforcing grooves, an all-round label and a tamper-proof lid com- plete the packaging. www.rosbacher.com Lemon-ade The well-known juice producer Granini recently launched its newest product innovation “The Limo“ on the market. The three types, Limette-and- Lemon, Pink Grapefruit + Cranberry and Orange + Lemongrass feature a fruit content of between 10 and 18% and are free of artificial aromas, col- ourants and preservatives. The lemonades are bottled in PET bottles with a content of 0.5 / 1l. The transparent bottles incorporate an embossed brand name logo in the area of the neck and in the shoulder area the indentations typical of the brand in the form of bubbles. Matching self-adhe- sive labels demonstrating the non-label look plus a screw cap with a tamper- proof strip ensure that the bottles draw attention to themselves at the PoS. www.granini.de Badoit with taste In collaboration with the top French chef, Thierry Marx, Danone Waters have expanded their range of “Badoit“ mineral waters characterised by their fine bubbles by two further products featuring a fruity taste. The sugar-free beverages taste of raspberries and passion fruit. The round body PET bottles contain- ing 1l of product are lightly green-tinged and include a self-adhesive label and screw cap to match each of the different types. For the market launch slip cases with information about a discount promotion were slid over the neck of the bottle. www.danoneaunaturel.fr BERICAP the plastic closure company committed to your success www.bericap.com Research and Development Developing closure solutions to meet your specific requirements Mould Technology A detailed understanding of mould design with in-house mould making facilities in Hungary and Germany Global Presence Local production in 21 strategically located factories.
