RPC Kerkrade has developed an attractive and user-friendly polypropylene bottle in two sizes to meet the differing requirements of specialist bakery, confectionery and ice cream ingredients manufacturer Dreidoppel of Langenfeld, Germany.

The larger 950ml version is blow moulded in monolayer polypropylene for the company’s Pastarom Classic range of flavours, supplied to wholesalers, while the co-extruded multilayer 475ml bottle has been created for the Pastarom range of ice cream and dessert toppings for the foodservice sector.

Both bottles are produced in white with a large label area.  The stylish curved ‘grip pack’ design features indented sides with ridges that make the bottle comfortable to hold and product easy to dispense for accurate portion control.  The flip cap features a nozzle that can be tailored to different dosing requirements.

The smaller size bottle incorporates a multi-layer PP/EVOH/PP construction to give the flavours an extended ambient shelf life of up to 18 months.  Both packs are suitable for hot filling.

The design concept for the bottle was devised by Dreidoppel to create an appealing look that at the same time offered maximum convenience for end-users.  RPC Kerkrade worked closely with the company in the final development stages, adding the grips on the side to enhance ease of handling.

“The new bottles ideally reflect the quality of our products, and their user-friendliness further enhances brand image,” comments Dietmar Hartkopf of Dreidoppel. 

“We are delighted with RPC Kerkrade’s contribution to this project.”

Pastarom Classic is available in ten flavours while the dessert toppings feature four popular varieties, Chocolate, Caramel, Raspberry and Strawberry.
