Aluminium wine bottles introduced by US packaging manufacturer

CCL Container, a North American manufacturer of recyclable aluminium packaging, has released new aluminium bottle shaping capabilities that reflect the profiles of conventional wine bottles.

Designed with CCL Container’s BodyShapes shaping technology, the 750 mL aluminium bottles are resealable with a threaded cap that is designed to keep wine fresh. Due to higher thermal conductivity and greater chill retention than glass or plastic, the bottles can cool quickly and stay cooler for a longer period of time than glass or plastic bottles.

The threading in the cap does not contain plastic, making the entire container, which is made from virgin aluminium, 100% recyclable. Despite a wide diameter, aluminium bottles weigh less than glass bottles, making them less expensive to ship. They are also more durable than glass.

Aluminium wine bottles enable wineries to take advantage of expanded creative possibilities in terms of labelling. Multi-colour lithography is available in as many as nine colours, as well as embossing and debossing of graphics and logos, and a variety of other design options and finishes make it possible to create outstanding brand distinction and differentiation.
