Together with Breitsamer + Ulrich and a recognised closure manufacturer, Greiner Packaging International has modified the packaging of Breitsamer honey. Breitsamer honey products in the new PET bottles containing 350 or 500g have been in stores since January 2013. Greiner Packaging International produces the new honey bottles for Breitsamer from PET, using its Kavoblow stretch blow moulding process. According to Greiner, this process facilitates a highly efficient implementation of individual designs and combines flexibil- ity with productivity. The look and handling of the bottle have been improved. Thanks to the new base design, the packaging is more stable during filling. The dose cap with membrane plays an important role here. It is equipped with an integrated, tear-off tamper-proof band and is made of PP. www.greiner-gpi.com PET bottle with a hat In conjunction with a pro- motion, Innocent has been asking its devotees to pro- duce knitted hats for the well- known bottles and to send these in to the company. For each hat submitted, Inno- cent donated 20 cents to the Red Cross to help with support for the elderly. The hats were then placed on the 500ml PET bottles with caps for shipping out to stores for subsequent use by the cus- tomer as egg cups, mobile phone covers or anything else that takes their fancy. www.innocentdrinks.co.uk
