The varieties – caramel, vanilla and hazelnut – are fitted with differently coloured hinged caps with a self-closing silicone valve. Before first use, the cap must be screwed off and a sealing membrane removed. There are strengthening grooves under the labels, designed to achieve a better pressure point when pressing the bottle and to make dosing easier. www.aldi-sued.de Pin-ups help Müllermilch In a promotion, Müllermilch had an offer of various mixed milk drinks which had scantily-clad ladies on the label, to catch the eye. The images were a reminder of the pin-ups in the Fifties and caused quite a stir on social media. Which meant the design was a successful marketing coup. In the picture, the banana and chiba varieties were filled each into the familiar, easy-to grasp tapered white 400ml PET bot- tles. The sleeve label went right up to and over the cap and in this area there was a sticker with the words “Happy Love Fest”. www.muellermilch.de Slim bottle for syrup Holderhof Produkte AG from the Swiss town of Nierderwil distri- butes its 500ml pasteurised elder- flower syrup without preservatives to German retailers via its German sister company in a slim plastic bottle. In the paper label area, there are horizontal strengthening grooves for stabilising the bottle when it is being held. The bottle is closed by a screw cap with a tamper-proof band. www.holderhof.ch Jaunty outer shape “Bruno’s Best”, the Swiss specialist in high-value foods, which taste home- made and are made only from the best ingredients, has several salad sauces on offer.

Wave-shaped grooves have been worked into the label area, which jointly with the wave-shaped label make them eye-catching on the shelves.
