Plastics packaging technology business Petainer is producing PET vodka bottles for Galatea, one of the largest suppliers to the Swedish state monopoly alcohol retailer.
Petainer’s plant at Lidköping in Sweden will manufacture 70cl bottles for ‘organically produced’ Sailor brand vodka to be supplied to more than 100 Systembolaget shops. Petainer will also fit branded sleeves to the clear plastics bottles.
PET bottles are said to be environmentally friendly because they are recyclable. They also offer clarity and shelf appeal, and are considered ‘easy to manufacture in high volumes’.
