Perfume Aluminum Bottles

We haven’t seen many perfumes packaged in aluminum bottles, despite their well established advantages in keeping fragrances fresh. Indeed, aluminum oils are used a lot for bulk storage of essential oils.  As I noted in my recent post, most aromatherapists and perfumers are careful not to expose essential oils to sunlight and heat in order [...]

Coca-Cola Aluminum Bottles

I saw a really neat display of various generations of Coca-Cola aluminum bottles – a family portrait, so to speak.  This display was from a show in Atlanta that I attended.  I didn’t realize that Coca-Cola had so many designs for their aluminum bottle.  Of course some of these designs are limited production runs (which probably [...]

New Aluminum Bottle for Diet Coke

Uber designer Karl Lagerfeld has come up with another aluminum bottle design, this time for Diet Coke. The aluminum bottles are apparently inspired by three of his models – Coco Rocha, Heidi Mount and Jeneil Williams.  Indeed, these are high-fashion bottles with a decidedly haute couture look.  I especially like the aluminum bottle in the middle [...]

The author writes: “To avoid deterioration and protect the aromatic and therapeutic properties of your essential oils, store them in amber or cobalt blue bottles. Dark glass such as amber or cobalt helps to keep out deteriorating sunlight. . . . Some vendors [...]

Aluminum Bottles in High Schools

Students in Fair Lawn High School in New Jersey are now using new aluminum water bottles.  Their goal is to make [...]

Aluminum Industrial Bottle Type 4 – For Viscous Products

Consumer aluminum bottles typically get all the attention.  So for this post, we decided to focus on one of our less publicized, but very useful products – the Type 4 industrial aluminum bottle, designed for packaging viscous products. Here’s how my online dictionary defines viscous: vis·cous adj \ˈvis-kəs\ : having or characterized by viscosity <viscous [...]

Rare Aluminum Bottles

The increasing popularity of aluminum bottles especially in the beverage industry has spawned a collectors’ market for rare aluminum bottles. Interestingly enough, the rarest and priciest aluminum bottles are unopened. Collectors seem to value aluminum bottles that are in pristine state, with caps intact, no visible dents, etc. It seems they don’t particularly care about [...]

Aluminum Beer Bottle for Tenerife Carnaval

This aluminum beer bottle has all the makings of a collectible. The bottle, branded Dorada, was developed by Canary Island Beer Co., which is part of the SAB Miller Group, for the Tenerife International Carnival. Decorated in Carnival-inspired motifs, this is the official beer for the festival. Only two hundred fifty thousand of these beautifully [...]
