Up to now there have been two variations avail- able – Vöslauer Balance Juicy Pink Grapefruit and Lemon. The products’ colouring comes from the fruit juice; they are low in calories and free of artificial colourants and preserva- tives. They are bottled in the familiar 750ml PET bottles which are made from 100% recyclate. The closure is a coloured, easy-to-handle screw cap complete with tamper-proof guarantee. www.voeslauer.com An agonising choice Standing in front of a shelf in a French retail store consum- ers is likely to find themselves faced with the agony of choice. Lesieur, the specialist in edible oil, is marketing its rape seed oil using two different packag- ing concepts. One is a green headstand bottle made from PET with a content of 675ml and a hinged lid closure with an auto- matic closure silicone valve. Prior to initial opening the lid needs to be unscrewed and a mem- brane removed. Two studded segments at the sides mark the pressure points for dispensing the product. There is also an elegant, fluted bottle in green PET containing one litre of product. The oil is dispensed via a screw-on, 2-colour dis- penser cap. Once the tamper-proof strip has been removed, the two sections of the closure can be twisted in opposite directions, thus making a variable flow rate possible. www.lesieur.fr Müller Milk for the Football World Cup Within the framework of a promotional campaign, the Alois Müller Dairy of Aretsried in Germany is dis- tributing its well-known Müller milk products as part of a special series featuring specially designed sleeve labels. The white PET bottles, each of which contains 400ml are printed with comic-style characters and the rear of the bot- tles also depicts the backs of the characters’ heads com- plete with their names. The bottles are closed by means of tamper-proof screw closures. www.muellermilch.de Raspberry syrup in PET Under its own label “Fruchtstern“, the German discounter Netto is marketing 500 ml of raspberry syrup for long drinks, alcohol- free mixed drinks or for mixing with water or soda in a ratio of 1:7, in a transparent PET bottle with all-round grooves emanating from the body area which is decorated with an adhesive label. The screw closure with tamper-proof band also matches the screw closure.
