PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 08/17 www.petpla.net 71 BOTTLES Shower cream with coconut Colgate-Palmolive has brought its fifth body butter shower cream, this time with coconut extract, onto the market in the Palmolive Gourmet range. According to the manufacturer, the rich formula cares for the skin and leaves a “luxurious” aroma. It is supplied in the contoured 250ml bottle typical for the brand and the hinged cap seal and corresponding sleeve label are adapted to suit the product in one or at most two colours. www.colgate.de Shower Gel with white lotus & green tea In many countries, reducing bottle weights for ecological reasons has gone so far as to make bottles hard to grip because they collapse, causing product to escape unexpectedly. However, there are some companies or brands that do not do this. In Canada, a 350ml bottle of shower gel with white lotus & green tea from the “Bath Retreat Spa” is on the market; it is so sturdy that it can only be minimally compressed. The opaque bottle is pressed directly and is closed with a screwed on hinged cap with wood effect and a dosage opening. Fruity freshness from Lidl In a promotional campaign, the German discounter Lidl is selling under its own brand “doussy” three differently scented fabric conditioners in unusually coloured PET bottles, each holding 2l of product. Yellow, pink and green attract the immediate attention of customers. The bottles are furnished at the front with curved surfaces and stabilising indentations and embossing. For secure gripping and pouring of the fabric conditioner, there are two sturdy and attractive- looking grip dimples on the side area. A screw cap with dosage indicator and two green self-adhesive labels enhance the visual attractiveness of the packaging. www.lidl.de PROCESS PILOT ® makes producing a better PET bottle as easy as 2 3 1 MEASURE CONTROL OPTIMIZE every bottle for changes in material distribution process variation, inside the blowmolder material utilization and orientation to achieve maximum bottle performance CONTACT US TODAY TO LEARN MORE!
