PET products 30 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 01+02/16 www.petpla.net Frosch presents new designs with Gizeh When launching its natural cosmetic line “Frosch Reine Pflege” the company Werner & Mertz is focused on a natu- ral appearance, also with regard to the packaging. In col- laboration with the packaging specialist Gizeh the manu- facturer established a new design line for his care products. The liquid soap bottle in a tear drop shape is subtly decorated with spring-like flowers, leaves and butterflies. It has a matt white shrink-sleeve with discreet appearance. The children´s series, on the other hand, is focused on high-gloss: The world of the little frog is presented in bright colours and details on the bottle. Gizeh produces the bottles for both series of PET. The 300ml soap containers are manufactured by single-stage injection stretch blow moulding and decorated with shrink-sleeves. Once the first common project is launched successfully in the market, the next joint development for the “Erdal” brand will arrive in stores within the next few weeks. www.gizeh-pet.com PET bottle is flavour of the month RPC Promens Consumer Innocan is launching a 750ml barrier PET bottle for fla- voured syrups for cold drinks. The new bottle provides a more cost-effective, convenient and flexible pack format compared to the metal can which has traditionally been used for these products. For the consumer, the PET bottle’s lighter weight ensures ease of handling. For manu- facturers, the bottles can be sleeved with individual branding and graphics as required, simplifying logistics and avoiding delays or unwanted stock as there is no need to buy-in and store pre-printed metal cans. The curved design of the PET bottle echoes the design of the metal can to help maintain brand familiarity and allows the bottles to be filled on existing lines and use the same cap. The multilayer construction incorporates a layer of oxygen scavenger (active barrier) and polyamide (passive barrier), which provide an effective barrier against oxidation to prolong the shelf life of the syrups. In addition, this helps to maintain the flavour of the syrups in the bottle for longer. www.rpc-promens.com SGT, naturally innovative The specialist in PET preforms and HDPE caps for over 30 years. +33 (0)2 40 05 09 37 / www.sgt-pet.com
