McCormick Distilling, an alcoholic beverage distilling and importing company in Weston, Missouri, has changed its Eco Friendly 360 Vodka 1.75-L line from glass to Amcor Rigid Plastics' lightweight polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
McCormick claims that the new 1.75l container offers unique styling, consumer handling and is the first to feature a swing-top closure. It is also expected to reduce carbon footprint.
Amcor's Advanced Engineering team has performed Finite Element Analysis modeling to anticipate the container's performance behavior and adapted the metal-based closure to the 0.9-in (23 mm) finish diameter, Packaging Digest reported.
McCormick Distilling marketing vice president Vic Morrison said that Amcor did a great job by delivering a crisp, clean bottle and from the feedback the company received, consumers have been impressed with its performance and look.
"Lightweight PET not only provided a major savings in terms of freight cost and other supply chain efficiencies but also gave us the glass-like appearance and the shelf appeal to maintain our original unique design and brand image," added Morrison.
McCormick Distilling provides vodka, tequila, blended whiskey, gin, rum, liqueur, brandy and Scotch whiskey.
