The smoothie contains red and white grape juice, raspberry, blueberry and pear puree, plus acerola and linseed with Vitamins C, B2, B3, B6 and E. The container for 750ml of the smoothies is a clear, rectangular bottle which in shape reminds one of the smaller Innocent swwwmoothie bottles. A slightly curved all-round paper label on the front explains the ingredients and how to use the product. The bottle is closed by a screw cap with a tamper-evident band. www.innocentdrinks.de Späte Ernte (late harvest) from Valensina in the fridge section Späte Ernte: these are various 100% fruits from Valensina garnered from a late harvest benefit- ing from the last of the summer sun. The late harvest and the fruit composition produce a product low in acid, which is more digestible for sensitive consumers. The juices are produced carefully and cooled uninterruptedly, in order to guarantee the best quality. The container is a 750ml long-neck bottle free of levies, with a brand-typical shape, diamond-shaped embossing and several brand logos. A non-label-look sleeve label around the middle and screw cap with a first opening safety device and a fresh seal round off the product appearance. www.valensina.de Olive oil in PET In the USA, Pompeian Inc. sells 473ml /16fl.oz (1Pt) of “Extra Virgin Olive Oil First Cold Pressed” in a green coloured PET bottle, which at first glance does not look any different from a glass bottle. The sides have grooves for a safe grip. The brand lettering is embossed in these grooves. The closing device is fitted with inward- pointing fingers to simplify accurate dosage and to improve drop formation on the edge. Bottle, closing device and two high-value self-adhesive labels exhibit a premium appearance on the shop shelf. www.pompeian.com
