Greiner Packaging International has worked in conjunction with leading German car-care company Sonax, to develop a circular 3-litre bottle in transparent plastic, with integral handle, for the new Sonax Xtreme windshield washer fluid.
Sonax Xtreme has been developed for use during the frost-free summer months, and is said to be “extremely fast-acting”.
The use of completely transparent PET, with labels applied only to the flat front and back surfaces, is said to offer an unrestricted view of the new bottle’s contents, in order to reinforce customer confidence in the quality of the product.
“Automobile drivers need to always be able to see the overall view, and for this they require a high-quality windshield washer fluid,” says Günter Ausserwöger, head of division Kavo at Greiner Packaging.
“This key product benefit is communicated in the packaging design of the new Sonax bottle.”
At 250mm in height, the bottle’s body diameter is 225mm.
The handle is an integrated design element, said to provide easy measuring and pouring without spilling.
Closed with an injection-moulded screw-on cap with a tamper-resistant PE ring, the packaging as a whole is produced in a single stage using the injection stretch blow molding process, so no additional assembly work is required.
The Sonax Xtreme product itself is said to offer “superb cleaning performance with no film buildup” – and to be “safe to apply” on painted areas, rubber parts, plastic surfaces, and wiper nozzles.
