Three new spirits bottles added to O-I’s stock range include a claimed UK first.
The square, tall round and dump style containers come in 70 and 75cl sizes in flint glass.
Claimed to be the lightest standard round currently available at this size in the UK, the 70cl tall round bottle weighs just 340g. The new standard, produced via the narrow neck press and blow process (NNPB), also features a spotting bar to link multiple elements of labelling and bottle decoration.
O-I says the square bottle, reportedly the first NNPB square standard made in the UK, also offer the “environmental benefits” of NNPB production by using less glass and creating less waste. At 385g the 70cl version is some 20% lighter than existing blow:blow standards. It is made with a 360 deg label panel, while the 30mm pilfer-proof finish will accept the Montgomery 500 fitment for non-refillable versions.
A traditional cork mouth finish makes the round dump particularly suitable for low volume deluxe spirits brands; volumes can be as low as 10,000 units.
