Hipp bottles 300ml of low-natrium spring water into a PET bottle designed for children aged from one year upwards which is easy to grasp and hold. In order to awaken the interest of the children in the “boring” tasting drink, the bottles are coloured and thus arousing children’s curiosity. The bottles are embossed with the word “Hipp”, sealed with a tamper-proof push-pull and decorated with a brightly coloured paper label. www.hipp.de Hohes C as tea with a deposit Eckes-Granini have reviewed their “hohes C Naturelle“ range, streamlined it and added new products to it. Since summer 2014 a soft drink that is more than 60% white tea and which boasts an enhanced taste due to fruit juice additives has been available at retail outlets. The product contains no additional sugar, arti- ficial additives or preservatives. The 0.75l bottle has been replaced by a re-designed PET bottle with content of 500ml. The bottle features embossed brand logos, a 2-colour sports cap closure, a foil label and is subject to a deposit. Prior to initial opening the bottle, on which a deposit is now payable, needs to have its closure unscrewed and a sealing membrane removed. www.hohesc.de Exotic mix for children The German discounter dm is mar- keting a limited edition fruit juice drink with a particular composition of fruits under its ”babylove“ brand name. The drink, which incorporates a bio-seal, is more than 40% made up of apple, mandarin and acerola juice and still mineral water. The product, which is free of added sugar, is packaged in a PET bottle with reinforcement grooves. The bottle is also shaped so that it can also be grasped easily by small hands and has a content of 330ml. A screw- on, tamper-proof sports cap with a blue drinking spout serves as a closure. www.dm.de Aromatic spice spray from Aldi A 150ml spice spray incor- porating a range of aromas such as for example “Curry Style“ or ”Smoky American Style“ is one item in the range offered by the German dis- counter Aldi Süd. Slimline PET bottles, coloured black with a screw-on pump spray similarly in black are the packaging format for the product. The bottles have been labelled with self-adhesive labels in vari- ous colours. The shaped label has been stretched across the transparent snap lid made from plastic. Removing the lid for the first time destroys a tab, thus making it evident that the bottle has been opened. www.aldi.com
