Following on from brand owners or small and regional manufacturers, Aldi South has started to introduce more and more Skyr drinks under the “Desira” brand onto the market. The drinks come in tapered, white coloured 250ml bottles that contain lots of pro- tein but very little fat. Suitably designed sleeve labels for each variety of drink, together with a screw top to protect the product prior to opening, complete the packaging at point of sale. www.aldi-sued.de Mixed fruit juices from Solevita Various mixed 100% fruit content juices displayed in a refrigerated unit are on offer as part of a Lidl promotion under their own “Solevita” brand. Along with apple juice, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice, lime, banana and mango pulp, the “green” variety also contains 0.2% kiwi seeds. The “orange” variety contains different fruit juices including 20% carrot juice in response to customer demand for mixed juices made from various fruits and veg- etables. The clear 500ml bottles were decorated with corresponding sleeve labels, with a transparent area for product presen- tation. The sleeve label has been placed over the screw top as an additional security feature which has to partially removed along defined perforations prior to opening for the first time. www.lidl.de Fruit shots from rio d’oro “Hero of the Day” is part of Aldi South’s rio d’oro brand which comes in a 4-pack of fruit shots as a small volume alternative to smoothies. The drinks consist of three types of fruit; apple-orange-passion fruit, or grape-banana-chokeberry, both with added acai. Each clear 125ml bottle has a decora- tive sleeve label and is secured by a screw top and tamper- proof strip. The four bottles are packed together as a sales unit in colourful printed cardboard packaging, with recesses into which the individual bottles can be secured. www.aldi-sued.de Smoothie with natural yoghurt The Austrian firm, Bergland- milch, is selling its Smoojo, a Smoothie with natural yoghurt, in Germany under the Schaerdinger brand. The Smoojo comes in four flavours: raspberry-strawberry- blackberry and acai; strawberry- banana-pineapple-banana-coconut and mango-passion fruit. They come in a 250ml, white PET bottle which has a screw top and security strip. Full length, subtly designed sleeve labels with adhesive stick- ers on the lid ensure each variety is easily recognisable at point of sale. www.schaerdinger.at
