The slightly bluish-tinted bottle is made from PET and designed as a squeeze bottle. The prod- uct, which remains transparent after application to the skin, is dispensed via a snap-on hinged lid closure featuring a dispenser opening. At the PoS the bottle is secured against tampering by means of a sleeve label, some sections of which are transparent. This needs to be completely removed prior to initial opening. The label is printed with information and, following its removal, the consumer is left with a single label that contains only the information that is most needed. Moisturising lotion in PET The Japanese cosmetics manufacturer Utena is selling a range of skin care based on Argan Oil – the so-called “Gold of Morocco” - on its home market under the name of “Lumice Gold”. The product, the example shown in the picture is a moisturising lotion, contains plenty of vitamin E but is free of silicones, artifi- cial aromatic substances, colorants and preservatives. In order to reflect the origins of the Argan Oil, the yellow-tinted bottle is flacon-shaped and multifaceted in terms of its design. The name and the retail information are printed directly on the bottle. A screw-on, gold-coloured hinged lid closure with tamper-proofing and a dispenser opening serves as a closure. www.utena.co.jp/english/index.html Bright colours for washing up liquid A bottle already well-known as a classic in the packaging sector, designed in imitation of the “Red Tower” which is an emblem of the German city of Chemnitz, has been co-opted by the German company fit GmbH for marketing its range of washing up liquids for washing dishes by hand. The bottle holds a volume of 500ml. Under the tag “fit naturals” the company is selling a number of fragrance variants using appropriately designed packaging and a balsam additive that cares for the hands while they are doing the washing up. The picture shows the variants guava and lime, lavender and ylang ylang and almond blossom and pomegranate. The individual products are tinted and the bottles decorated with colour-matched push-pull clo- sures and labels. www.fit.de
