New bottle for Vitaminwater reduces weight by 15%

Coca-Cola redesigns its Vitaminwater bottle, using a new structure that weighs less, has better stacking strength, allows for improved label application, and provides stronger packaging performance

In redesigning the 20-oz bottle for its Vitaminwater® brand in 2016, The Coca-Cola Co. achieved a 15% reduction in weight from its previous packaging, along with better stacking strength, improved label application, and stronger packaging performance.

The new PET bottle incorporates two Amcor innovations for hot-fill containers: PowerStrap™ to strengthen the bottle’s structure and increase absorption during filling, and ActiveHinge™, which further improves rigidity.
