BOTTLES 57 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 03/16 www.petpla.net Volvic gets Star Wars fever Right at the start of or just before the premiere of the latest Star Wars film “The Force Awakens”, commercial businesses were getting busy with items con- nected to the film. Many manufacturers used this opportunity to develop promo- tional products and offer them to consumers. One example is the Volvic 0.33l PET bottle in the shape of a character. The bottle, which is filled with natural non-carbonated mineral water, is tapered twice, sits easily in the hand and is decorated with a sleeve label. Altogether there are five different designs to col- lect. The bottle is closed using the well-known green screwcap with writing and a tamper-proof band. www.volvic.de Neckless bottles for orange juice The Swiss Co-op is selling two different sizes of bottle for orange juice with 100% fruit. The clear bottles con- tain 250 or 750ml and have a large drink opening, their shape making them stand out on the shelves. There is some tapering near the bottom and the closing device fits almost seamlessly with the bottle shape. Under the screw cap with ridges for easier opening, there is a fresh membrane, which must be removed before consumption. www.coop.ch Bulbous bottle for juice Andros, the French producer of juices, fruit desserts, fruit prepara- tions (compote) has been keen since the company was founded to use organic cultivation and careful recy- cling. The juices are free of sugar additives, colourants and preserva- tives. The only conservation process used is pasteurisation. Each litre of the 100% directly pressed juice is filled into bulbous clear PET bottles – a reminder of traditional glass bot- tles – which make the product highly visible. Several paper labels and a green screw cap with a tamper-proof band round off the natural look. www.andros.ch 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 | www.z-moulds.com CHINAPLAS 2016 April 25th-28th meet us at booth W1-T05
