BOTTLE MAKING 12 PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 03/18 www.petpla.net Customisation possibilities for a range of brands Multiple bottle designs PET Engineering’s ITM (Insert Technology Moulding) solution makes clever use of inserts: For example this solution allowed Efes Rus to launch three new PET bottles at a low cost and with more modest investment expected in the future. The new shape of the Efes Rus brands, Gold Mine Beer, Stary Melnik and Zolotaya Bochka, is unique and distinctive at the same time as offering flexibility, thanks to the fact that the appearance and format of the bottles can altered using interchangeable inserts with the original mould: this means that it is constantly possible to insert new decorations, to alter their size compared to the surface of the bottle, to move and resize the label area and, to alter the capacity of the bottle by approximately 5%, depend- ing on end users’ changing consump- tion patterns. Designing different variants with a single shape results lower imple- mentation costs. With one insert that can be variety implemented in the original mould it is possible to remodel the image of the products. During the process the shape and overall dimensions of the bottle remain the same, meaning that expensive inter- ventions to change formats on the production line won’t be necessary. Such interventions would previously have involved costs for the design, implementation and installation of the different machine parts necessary to process a brand-new container. PET Engineering’s packaging flies high Boneau, the water that springs in the county of Bama, in the Guangxi region of south-east China, is famous for being rich in negative ions and known as the vitamins of the air. Those living in the county of Bama are famous for having the longest life spans in all of China. In fact, the county itself is defined as the “place of longevity and wise men”. The strata of special rock found in Bama purify, mineralise and mag- netise the water there, giving it its rare, natural and alkalescent prop- erties. Bama Boneau water comes from the depths of the rock strata of the Guangxi Bama karst. It has five distinctive features, making Bama Boneau well-balanced and healthy water. China Eastern Airlines, the third largest airline in the People’s Republic of China, with over 580 aeroplanes, 177 international routes and 1,062 routes in total, has chosen precisely this water to show its passengers how much they care about their health and well-being. Furthermore, they selected the company Bama Boneau to bottle the water in such a way as to make it easy to drink, even at high altitudes. PET Engineering proposed a bottle with a well-structured grip, strengthened by an alternating pat- tern of small oval shapes, allowing the bottle to withstand the levels of in- flight pressure and temperature expe- rienced in the stowage areas, without becoming deformed. At the same time, the bottle’s solid grip makes it easier to handle for both the end consumer and the flight crew during refreshment services. “PET Engineering tailor-made the new Bama Boneau’s water bottle combining ergonomics, comfortable handling, and convenience. This design is highly appreciated by the airline staff and its passengers. At the same time, it offers a high-standard look that will last across time”, said Bama Boneau Marketing Manager Ms Lin.
