Halo Labs, New York City, has introduced its Code Blue™ brand recovery drink in visually striking, blue metallized PET bottles that simulate the appearance of aluminum bottles. The recyclable, 12-oz bottles are manufactured by MPI Packaging, Inc. (www.mpi-pkg.com) and sourced by Zuckerman Honickman Inc. (www.zh-inc.com). LiquidMetal™ color technology from Ampacet (www.ampacet.com) is applied during the preform bottle coloring and blowing process to replicate a polished, reflective metal look.
The plastic twist caps are supplied by Closure Systems Intl., formerly Alcoa Closure Systems Intl. (www.csiclosures.com). The holographic labels, rotary screen-printed in four colors using UV flexo inks and incorporating holographic foil stamping, are supplied by JR Cole Industries (www.jrcole.com). Code Blue is cold-filled by co-packer Black Bear Bottling Group, LLC (www.blackbearbottling.com).
