(plastech) -- Amcor Rigid Plastics, the world’s leading producer of rigid plastic packaging, has designed and produced a proprietary series of lightweight polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for McCormick Distilling Co. Inc., a Weston, Mo.-based manufacturer and distributor of premium spirits.
The custom PET containers in 50ml, 750ml, 1L, and 1.75L sizes helped McCormick successfully launch its new brand Montego Bay Coconut Rum - in a distinctive and eye-catching package.
The bottle was designed to be rigid in order to mimic the look, strength, and robust feel of glass. At the same time, the lightweight PET container delivers significant sustainability advantages, resulting in reduced shipping and transportation costs. The containers are one-sixth the weight of glass bottles, unbreakable, less wasteful, and recyclable.
The recent national roll-out of Montego Bay Coconut Rum across 43 states has been highly successful with the new package, according to Vic Morrison, McCormick’s vice president of marketing.
Amcor Limited is an Australian-based multinational packaging company. It operates manufacturing plants in 42 countries. It is the world's largest manufacturer of plastic bottles.
