Berry Agile Solutions has launched a 250ml PET bottle for syrups to meet growing consumer demand for the creation of flavoured drinks in the home.

The new bottle provides a convenient retail size for a wide variety of syrups, fruit mixes, sauces, frappes, liqueurs, and smoothies, offering easy storage along with safe and comfortable handling. This enables consumers to create a ‘café at home’ and enjoy their favourite flavoured beverages whenever they want.

The bottle offers a slim, elegant design and can be manufactured in natural PET, with the clarity of the material providing an ideal showcase for the products. A choice of colours is also available. A generous decoration area, suitable for labelling or printing, enhances brand individualisation and on-shelf appeal.

In addition, to support customers in meeting their sustainability commitments, the bottle can be produced in up to 100% food-grade post-consumer recycled PET (rPET), which helps to contribute towards a circular economy for plastic.

Berry can also supply an accompanying plastic ROPP 28-18 closure to offer a complete container and closure package.

“The new bottle is in response to retailer requests for a more compact size for the home syrups market,” explained Berry Llantrisant’s sales manager Dean Williams.  “We believe its combination of an attractive appearance and excellent functionality provides the perfect solution.”

The 250ml size joins an existing 1 litre version, launched last year, which is ideal for foodservice markets and enables manufacturers to create a family range for their products.
