Alpha Packaging Adds Two Sizes of Boston Rounds
The 6-ounce Squat Boston Round will be offered in three neck finishes – 24-400, 24-410 and 24-415 – to accommodate different styles of closures, pumps and sprayers.
24/02/07 In response to the growing demand for small- and mid-sized personal care packaging, Alpha has introduced two new sizes of its popular polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Boston Rounds.
The 100ml Boston Round features a 24-400 neck and a traditional slim profile. The 100ml bottles fits right between Alpha’s 2-ounce (60ml) and 4-ounce (125ml) sizes. It is small enough to comply with the Transportation Services Administration’s (TSA’s) maximum volume for liquids in carry-on baggage for domestic air travel (capped at 100ml), but also two- to three times larger than most amenity-size bottles.
Alpha’s new 6-ounce Squat Boston Rounds feature a wider profile and base than Traditional Boston Rounds, and give packagers a popular size that fits between Alpha’s 4-ounce and 8-ounce Squat sizes. The 6-ounce Squat Boston Round will be offered in three neck finishes – 24-400, 24-410 and 24-415 – to accommodate different styles of closures, pumps and sprayers. The wider base makes the Squat style ideally suited for pump dispensers.
Alpha manufactures more than 30 styles of Traditional and Squat Boston Rounds at four locations across the United States. Samples of the new bottles are available at www.alphap.com. The new styles will be stocked in clear, amber and cobalt, and additional colors – including custom colors – are available with very short lead times.
