Container check

PET, glass, cans – do you want a conventional container or something completely different? Selecting a type of packaging and opting for a specific material are not always easy choices for our customers to make as they have to weigh up and take into account many different fundamental considerations.

The care involved in the handling of our resources is taking on an ever more important role – both for companies and end consumers. However, there is often a lack of reliable information on the sustainability of various materials. As a supplier, we understand sustainable packaging to be a type of packaging that reduces and saves on materials and energy consumption to the greatest possible extent. Transparent communication is especially important to us for this reason. There are, after all, countless factors which speak in favor of or against a certain type of container when contemplating individual filling requirements. We are thus happy to advise our customers individually and extensively in order to help them decide which container best suits them and their beverage. It is important, however, to study the options for yourself.
