The “Refreshing Wash Gel” based on the natural ingredients cranberry and raspberry is packaged in a 150ml content PET bottle which is tapered towards the top. The tinted product is discharged via a transparent and lockable pump dispenser. A no-label- look is used on the front and a fold-down paper label at the rear to incorporate the product information and instructions for use. www.clearasil.de PET for aerosol APPE has launched a PET aerosol called ‘Spray- PET’. It is designed for personal care and home care products, such as creams, shaving gels, sun tan lotions, hair care products, polishes and surface cleaners. According to Appe, the 335ml PET aerosol offers a light- weight construction ensuring a lower total cost of owner- ship compared to metal equivalents as well as delivering a lower carbon footprint of up to 65% (calculated using the Bilan Carbon method). The container is also recycla- ble, adding to its sustainability benefits. Appe says that other pack sizes will follow shortly. SprayPET can be delivered in white or transparent PET, with printing and sleeving options available. The material’s design flexibility means a variety of differ- ent shapes and styles can be created to enhance brand image and offer effective product differentiation on-shelf. The aerosol also offers excellent durability and will not dent or rust. SprayPET can be specified with any standard actua- tor and APPE is working with Plasticum, supplier of aerosol over caps, spray caps and actuators and part of the Weener group, to provide these. A 57mm gel actua- tor is currently available and the range will be extended with both foam actuators and spray caps, tailored to the specific dispensing requirements of different product applications. www.appe.com www.plasticumgroup.com Nivea cleansing mousse Beiersdorf have been bringing new products under the Nivea brand name on to the market on an on-going basis ever since the beginning of 2013. One example is the refreshing cleansing mousse from the “aqua effect“ series in a bluish tinged PET bottle with a content of 150ml. In the dispensing operation, the screw-on pump dispenser instantly transforms the liquid product into a foam and this can be applied immediately. The white pump dispenser is protected against misuse by means of an opaque protective cap. www.nivea.de
