New PET Packaging for Vinegar and Oil from Weener

The Weener “Olivo Collection” comprises various PET bottle designs for filling capacities of 80ml, 250ml, 500ml to 750ml, which have been specially developed for olive oil and vinegar.

Aug 23 2011 --- Olive oil is regarded as the gold of the south. It is an integral component of Mediterranean nutrition and is also extremely healthy. It is now set to receive a new, very convenient packaging.

Many studies confirm that the regular consumption of olive oil can contribute to maintaining and fortifying one’s health. Against this background the consumption of olive oil is also increasing in those countries outside the Mediterranean. A further increase is definitely expected.

Olive oil is frequently filled in thick glass bottles. Many end-consumers associate a corresponding quality with this feature. But a re-thinking process is slowly asserting itself. In general the end-consumer is increasingly demanding packaging which offers him or her product-handling advantages. As far as the olive oil packaging is concerned, these are, among others, a lower total weight and also clean product handling, because anyone who has already experienced it will tell you how annoying a broken olive oil glass bottle can be…
 
Weener has now developed a series of new PET bottles, which in terms of their design, are heavily based on the familiar and popular glass bottles, but which really impress through their low weight, durability and good handling characteristics. The Weener “Olivo Collection” comprises various PET bottle designs for filling capacities of 80ml, 250ml, 500ml to 750ml, which have been specially developed for olive oil and vinegar.

The advantages of the PET bottle plus cap at a glance:

* It is transparent and shiny and looks remarkably like glass
* It is unbreakable and as a result is particularly suitable for export
* It is light thus helping to reduce logistics costs

The bottles are fitted with a dosing lip and screw-top guaranteeing tamper-proof original quality. Various colours are available including a very dark green, which protects the precious olive oil against light exposure, which could have a negative effect on its quality.
