A new packaging design from SIG Combibloc creates what is said to be the world’s first foldable bottle. The design combines the best features of a carton pack with the best features of a bottle, while reducing its carbon impact versus PET or glass.
The combidome carton bottle won two European packaging awards this year, including a Beverage Innovation Award in the category of best carton or pouch. The awards are presented annually by FoodBev.com in cooperation with the Union of European Soft Drinks Association (UNESDA) and Wirtschaftsvereinigung Alkoholfreie Getränke e.V., Germany’s trade association for nonalcoholic beverages. The bottle also won the German Packaging Award in the category of Best Sales Packaging: Beverages. This award is presented under the auspices of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.
