Brothers Mark and Jon Sider cre- ated the drink which contains all natural ingredients, is low calorie and has twice the electrolyte con- tent of mainstream sports drinks. The brand has enjoyed explo- sive growth since its introduc- tion in 2010 in a single Chicago area store. Today, Greater Than is available in more than 200 locations as well as on-line from Amazon. In support of its expanded distribution and growth, the company has refreshed their brand, their formulations and their packaging based on consumer feedback. The redesigned package is now topped with CSI’s Extra-Lok V 38mm OD closure. This cap has been optimally designed to be the lightest weight two-lead, 38mm closure in the market while maintaining performance excellence. www.drinkgt.com Many multi-coloured marshmallows Via the German whole- sale trade, Tri D’Aix GmbH, a company based in Alsdorf, is marketing 80 marshmal- lows in a transparent plastic container made from PET and around 30cm in height. The products, which come in various colours, are readily visible, due to the minimalistic size of the two labels and make an immedi- ate visual impact. A metal screw-cap complete with a liner is used to close the container. Before opening for the first time there is a transparent self-adhesive strip that needs to be removed. www.tri-d-aix.com Iso Light in blue PET The German discounter Netto is selling 500ml of its Iso Light sports drink in a waisted, blue-tinted PET bottle under the brand name “Star Drink“. The bottle incorporates stabilising grooves in the waisted area which make the bottle easy to handle. An all-round body label made from foil conveys the neces- sary information and a screw cap in a contrasting colour with tamper- proof guarantee completes the packaging. www.netto.de Green tea in green PET San Benedetto is pack- ing 500ml of a drink based on green tea in a green-tinged PET bottle. The bottle incor- porates a drinking aperture of adequate size and all- round reinforcing grooves. A colour-matched foil label and a tamper-proof screw cap put the finishing touches to the product’s presentation at the PoS. www.sanbenedetto.it Black PET for energy drink The French supermarket chain Cora is currently using a PET bottle with an all-over black tint for its For-X energy drink containing taurine. The slimline, slightly waisted bottle is decorated with a foil label and a striking red screw cap complete with tamper-evident strip serves as a closure. Spe- cial emphasis is placed on the importance of consuming the drink well-chilled. www.coradrive.fr
