McNeil Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co. Mylanta® One Antacid + Anti-gas EcoCareTM Tablets 

Pros

  • Sleek, opaque silver EcoCare bottle stands out on shelf
  • Label notes EcoCare is composed of “infinitely recyclable aluminum”
  • Packaging with recloseable cap can theoretically be repurposed by consumer if desired
  • For tamper evidence, label notes not to use if cap is broken from ring 

Notes

  • With years of consumer perception that “aluminum containers tend to mean liquid,” the user may need to take a close look at the label to understand this is not a liquid format—particularly with the opaque bottle—though the cap and label feature tablet copy and imagery prominently
