Aluminium Bottles Coca Cola for UK Olympics

Most people in the USA would probably have missed this bit of news about Coca-Cola’s new aluminium bottles. First – because the news articles used the British spelling – aluminium.  And second, because the USA does not seem to be a priority when it comes to news about new aluminum bottles launched in Europe. This […]

Coors Light Aluminum Beer Bottle

Coors is releasing a new aluminum bottle for the summer – the Coors Light Silver Bullet –  with an all silver design.

Free Beer in Aluminum Bottles

Free beer?  In an aluminum bottle?  Delivered to you?

But the Pepsi Twist aluminum bottle has bright yellow text which contrasts very nicely with the blue background.  […]

Aluminum Beer Bottle – Glows in the Dark

Heineken has done it again.  They’ve launched an aluminum beer bottle that glows in the dark. They call it their STR bottle and it has UV-sensitive ink applied to the aluminum bottle which becomes visible when exposed to black light. This is another wonderful example of packaging innovation using aluminum. As I wrote in my […]
