The highly transparent Tritan® bottle with the flip-top seal made by Steuber, the German household utensils company, is among the most popular to-go drinking bottles in Europe. Effective immediately, the bottle and seal will no longer be produced in China but rather produced and further developed by Greiner Packaging in Austria. The seal function has been reworked, particularly with respect to functionality and impermeability. Whereas the previous seal was inserted manually, a 2-component solution with injected TPE seal has been chosen for the new version. The transparency and brilliance of the bottle were also improved. The company also profits from Greiner Packaging’s broad technology range and, thus, from a complete solution from a single source. The bottle, now “made in Austria”, is sold worldwide through retail chains.
Communicating with the end consumer through the packaging is becoming increasingly important. This is also true for Danone, where recipes are printed directly onto the packaging.
