Panel-free bottle complements Hispanic-inspired tea line

“Children will be holding the product,” he explains, “so I didn’t want any issues with breakage.”

After settling for a PET bottle with ribs, Ruvalcaba found Amcor’s (www.amcor.com) 16-oz long-neck PowerFlex PET bottle with a 38-mm finish and decided it was a better choice for his product. The bottle looks like glass and has a panel-free design, allowing for a smooth label area without any ribbing.
