Imitation Glass Beer Bottles

These Amstel Premium Pilsener Bottles Are Packaged in Plastic

— June 10, 2014 — Lifestyle
P.E.T Engineering was recently put to the task of developing a new type of 1L plastic bottle for Amstel Premium Pilsener that would deliver a new kind of convenience that would appeal to amateurs and beer connoisseurs alike.

Although there are plenty of efforts to reduce the amount of plastic bottles out there, this Amstel Premium Pilsener is like a lightweight glass lookalike that would be easier to carry around in the summer. Just as a glass bottle would be, the bottle has embossed elements and labels, including a neck protection cap that helps to further its disguise. Despite being completely plastic, the bottle still comes across as quite premium and if you spotted it from afar, you might not even be able to tell it apart from a regular glass bottle.
Trend Themes
1. Imitation-glass Packaging - Innovative packaging that mimics traditional glass containers using lightweight and durable materials, like plastic, to provide convenience and reduce transportation risks.
2. Disguised Plastic Packaging - Disruptive packaging that covers the plastic material with embossed elements and labels to imitate the appearance of premium glass containers and appeal to consumers.
3. Eco-friendly Beverage Containers - Sustainable packaging trends that prompt the creation of reusable, recyclable, or biodegradable beverage containers without compromising quality and convenience.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage and Alcohol - The beverage and alcohol industry can leverage the trend of Imitation-Glass Packaging to develop innovative and eco-friendly solutions that appeal to consumers who prioritize convenience, sustainability, and safety.
2. Packaging and Containers - The packaging and containers industry can take advantage of the Disguised Plastic Packaging trend by exploring new approaches to create innovative packaging designs that address environment concerns while maintaining functionality.
3. Plastic and Polymer - The plastic and polymer industry can foster the development of novel materials that meet the demands for eco-conscious packaging without compromising on quality, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
