Spa chemical bottles make splash in market

Custom PET bottles replace stock HDPE bottles for Haviland spa chemicals.

Haviland Consumer Products, Grand Rapids, MI, has marketed its line of SpaPure hot tub chemicals using 16-oz white, cylindrical high-density polyethylene bottles and a two-color paper label for 20 years. The bottles, however, looked their age.

“They were very industrial looking,” says operations manager Tom Dyke, “and we were looking for a fresh, new look. But upgrading them to a sleek and eye-catching PET container presented a twofold challenge: There were no stock bottles we found that appealed to us, and second, annual runs of 150,000 seemed too low to justify the cost of custom molding.”

For a solution, Haviland turned to All-Pak Corp., a full line container distributor. “We presented a series of packages to Haviland that represented various styles and capabilities that we offer,” says Bret King, All-Pak’s national accounts manager. “Haviland chose a cobalt-blue PET container based on one of the samples we showed them.” All-Pak then worked with Novapak Corp., a blow molder of standard and custom containers, to develop drawings of the final bottle design.
