RPC Containers Blackburn has produced a new white spirit bottle in PET for Kalon, designed to offer increased child-resistance, barrier properties and clarity. In addition to white spirit, the 2 litre bottle will also be used for a range of other products such as turps substitute and brush cleaner, under a variety of brands including Mangers and own label for several leading retailers. As part of an ongoing supply arrangement, Kalon asked RPC to produce a new bottle that would provide improved child resistance. Not only does this design prevent leakage of the product, but it also means that pressure must be applied to remove the cap before the seal is broken making the bottle more child-resistant. At the same time, the choice of PET for the manufacture of the bottle provides additional benefits to both Kalon and end-users. The material`s inherent barrier properties mean that there is no need to employ additional processes such as fluorination to prevent product loss. For the consumer, the PET bottle is lightweight and easy to handle and offers excellent clarity to enhance on-shelf appeal. The bottle is labelled by RPC after injection moulding, using designs from Label Art.
