BOTTLES 43 PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 11/13 www.petpla.net Own label colour coordinated The “Denk mit“ label of the German drug- store discounter dm shows, in its washing up liquid / balsam, how a bottle of the same shape can be adapted for consistent re-use in a wide diversity of applications by applying colour accents and new creations in terms of fra- grances. The bulbous shape bottle made from PET contains 500ml of product: shown in the illustration are washing up liquid with water mint and viola and washing up balsam with oleander and pear blossom. The bottle is decorated with two round labels and closed by means of a push-pull facility to match the colour of the product. www.dm.de The colour of the ocean Colgate-Palmolive’s PET bottle containing their ”Ther- mal Spa Ocean Vitality“ shower gel with blue-green algae and ocean minerals incorporates 250ml of product. The bottle has two shaped labels and a snap-on, 2-colour lid closure with an integrated opening flap. A particularly striking feature of the product is the colour of the prod- uct, which is impenetrable to the naked eye and which is designed to remind the user of the colour and the impres- sion of depth associated with looking into sea water. www.palmolive.com Scan & Measure Oxygen Ingress & Transmission Rates www.PreSens.de/ Fibox4 Fibox 4 Stand-alone fiber optic oxygen transmitter Modelling gel Under the epithet “Trend it up“, the dm own label “Balea“ is selling a wide range of hair styling products in a huge variety of differently shaped packaging and colours. The transparent PET bottle with a content of 170ml fea- tures two adhesive labels and a screw-on, multiple section closure complete with a dispensing device. Twisting the sections against each other opens up a discharge chan- nel. This product, which is used for hair modelling, is offset with particles of glitter and holds the promise of a glamor- ous entrance. www.dm.de/balea PET meets PP A first-time co-operation between L’Oréal Paris, RPC Bram- lage and RPC Kutenholz seems to be paying off for a high profile Elnett hair product bottle. The outer container is injection moulded in PET by RPC Bramlage. The inner bottle is manu- factured in PP and extrusion blow moulded by RPC Kutenholz to a special design created by L’Oréal. The bottle and the outer container are then assembled at RPC Bramlage. Together with its trigger pump, the container provides quality packaging for a high class hair care product offered throughout Europe. It has been featured prominently in a TV campaign starring singer and TV personality Cheryl Cole. www.rpc-kutenholz.de
