PET bottles 46 PET planet insider Vol. 15 No. 05/14 www.petpla.net Home + Personal Care Refreshing simplicity PET Power is adding another new standard model to its comprehensive collection of shampoo and shower gel models. This elegant bottle has a volume of 250ml and, with a height of 146mm, is a relatively short model. This is amply compensated for by the 73mm width, which makes the striking and attractive Castalia Oval stand out on the shelf. The most striking feature is the fact that this model has two different sides. The right-hand side is largely straight whilst the left-hand side is curved. The model is produced with a 24Snap neck finish and can be combined with many standard closures. The most obvious product group for the Castalia Oval is the shampoo and shower gel segment. However, with a little imagination the model could also be used for other cosmetic product groups. One example would be the food industry, where a squeezable bottle with a dispensing cap is a desired option. The oval shape can easily be enhanced using most deco- ration techniques. A label which perfectly accentuates the asymmetrical play of lines will ensure an attractive finished product. The model can also easily be provided with a sleeve or screen print and can be produced in any desired colour. www.petpower.eu Vernel for sensitive skin Henkel have reworked their fabric conditioner Hautsensitiv, which has been developed specially for sensi- tive skin. This mild conditioner is free of artificial colourants and is said to help people suffering from allergies specifically through the selection of fragrance and content substances. The 2l bottle, which is made from PET, incorporates a recess at the back for a better grip and to enable the product to be poured into the screw cap. The cap is used for dispensing and is decorated with a re-designed sleeve label. This is hollowed out in the area of the grip recess and features a transparent section to enable a check to be made on fill level. www.henkel.com Gliss Kur in dual pack As part of a promotional cam- paign, Schwarzkopf & Henkel are marketing their “Million Gloss Shampoo”, part of the Gliss Kur Hair Repair range, in a dual pack at an attractive price. Two PET bottles, each 250ml, with a snap- on hinge lid, are held together by means of a shrink label incor- porating transparent areas. The labels on the backs of the bottles are printed on the inside with the sample reflections that are typical of this range. The sleeve label is printed in colour in the area of the barcodes. This is to avoid the price of the individual bottle being misread by the till scanners. The barcode for the dual pack is applied to the sleeve label using a self-adhesive label. www.glisskur.de
