Country Pure Foods uses square PET bottle for new
lemonade.
Weis Markets has launched a line of lemonades in clear PET
carafes fromConstar
International LLC.
The beverages are produced and bottled byCountry
Pure Foodsfor Weis Markets. Constar is supplying Country Pure Foods with 59-ounce
(1.89 Liter) PET carafes for two varieties, raspberry lemonade and lemonade.
With the introduction, Weis Markets joins a sweeping transformation of
the refrigerated juice section with beverages moving from traditional
paperboard-based gable-top cartons to clear PET carafes. The motivation is
simple: consumers want to see the juice inside the package and PET provides an
unimpeded view.
The slim neck of the carafe makes it easier to handle than cartons and PET
is unbreakable. PET containers are BPA-free and offer another major advantage:
they are fully recyclable. Constar’s PET carafes offer other benefits as well.
Its square shape mimics that of paperboard cartons so the new pack delivers the
same efficient use of space on pallets, cubes and on the shelf.
Constar offers the 59-ounce carafes as a stock item.
