The company, based in Hot Springs National Park, AR, selected a sports cap from Creative Packaging (Buffalo Grove, IL). Its green and gold components complement a recent label change that celebrated the company's 125th anniversary. They also complement the company's signature green bottles. The spout itself is made of linear low-density polyethylene; the cap, as well as the overcap, are polypropylene. A polyvinyl chloride shrink band from Seal-It (Farmingdale, NY) displays a repeated "consider the source" slogan, a reference to the water's Hot Springs source. As a matter of quality control, Mountain Valley began stretch/blow-molding its own polyethylene terephthalate bottles last year. They're filled on-site. Sold throughout most of the U.S., the product's retail prices are 69¢ and 99¢ for the 0.5-L and 1-L bottles, respectively.
