The company says that the “elegant and simple” bottle design is intended to help convey a quality image on the shelf. Mr Sherick’s Shakes, created by former retail buyer Andrew Sherick, are aimed at a market opportunity for a range of branded adult milk shakes and are already being listed at premier retailers such as Selfridges, Harrods and Waitrose. They are intended to enable both retailers and caterers to offer their customers a new “pure indulgence treat”. The range currently extends to five flavours: Pot au Choc; Strawberry Pavlova; Softly Banoffee; A Hint of Mint; and Cookies & Cream. The Lightweight PET bottles from RPC Llantrisant enable the consumer to see the contents clearly and are designed to be suitable for both at home and on-the-go consumption. www.rpc-group.com A sip of crystal clear water Devin, the well-known mineral water brand from Bulgaria, has chosen the company P.E.T. Engineer- ing to develop its new packaging for the launch of its Devin-Crystal Line, a water intended for the HO.RE.CA sector. The idea behind the packaging was to give premium value to a low cost material by means of a sophisticated design and a glass effect finish capa- ble of combining the unbreakability, lightweight and low cost advantages of PET with concepts of elegance and refined simplicity. Regular forms of crystal glass were used as a starting point. The bottle’s three dimensional decoration and the use of Novapet’s Glasstar, reproducing the transparency of glass, produces an interesting refraction effect and the bottle shines like a crystal in the light. The blue and silver label matches the colour of the cap. www.petengineering.com product development caps & closures design high cavitation moulds multi-component moulds closure production systems after sales service competent – professional – inspiring Hoechster Strasse 8· 6850 Dornbirn, Austria· T +43 5572 7272-720· www.z-moulds.com FAKUMA 2014 October 14th-18th meet us at booth A7-7502
