Rugby water bottle achieves design goal

Sidel (www.sidel.com) has unveiled a new 0.75-L PET bottle shaped like a rugby ball.

The ball bottle kicks things up a notch when it comes to realism. The 750-mL PET bottle mimics a rugby ball with the same oval shape and grainy texture created by 10,000 dimples around the circumference. The bottle offers molded stitches and a kicking tee at the base. There’s even an inflation valve molded in.

In late 2006, les Eaux minérales d‚Alet asked the team from Sidel Packaging Solutions to improve the strength and stability of its standard 1.5-L bottle. At that time, Sidel brought up the possibility of creating a ball-shaped bottle.
