The indi- vidual products that go to make up the range are named after towns and cities in the USA and are designed to project coffee with a flavour. For exam- ple, there is latte with vanilla or a caramel flavour. The product is packaged into transpar- ent, fitted PET bottles each containing 330ml. Appropri- ately designed, shrink sleeve labels and a screw cap with tamper-evident band complete the look. www.lidl-info.com Coconut in PET Although, a few years ago, coconut milk was only available in selected stores, this drink has now also found its way into the big supermarkets and is becoming increasingly popular with consumers. The green company coco europe GmbH is market- ing, under the brand Dr. Antonio Martins, 330ml coconut milk, which is the equivalent of the contents of a coconut, in several different flavours in a PET bottle that is moulded so that it is easy to grip and to handle. The bottle is decorated with a matt printed sleeve label, and the screw cap is adapted to reflect the particular flavour variation. www.dr-martins.com Fresh orange juice in PET In France, the Bricfruit SAS company is packaging, under the brand name Pressade, a litre of freshly-pressed 100% orange juice - half each from oranges from Florida and Brazil respectively- in a white-coloured PET bottle with peripheral reinforcement grooves. The oval cylinder is equipped with a sleeve label and a screw cap with tamper-evident band. www.pressade.fr Sweetened with Stevia Under the brand name Robby Bubble, the Carstens Haefelin Kel- lereien GmbH is distributing a soft drink for children that contains no added sugar, colouring or preserva- tives. The sweeteners used are steviol glycosides from the stevia plant. The product is packaged in a waisted 500ml bottle fitted with a sleeve label that extends across the feet or as far as the base of the bottle. By way of a closure a sports cap complete with a hinged lid is used. Prior to initial opening, one segment of the closure needs to be removed. www.robby-bubble.com
