O-I Extends Its Range To Enhance Presentation Of Premium Beers

24 Oct 2014 --- Owens-Illinois, Inc., the world’s largest glass container manufacturer introduces a new bottle to enhance its standard range and help brewers differentiate their premium and craft beers. The new standard combines a champagne-style shape with a highly functional format in terms of size, closure and light weight. It complements an already extensive range of O-I glass packaging available to breweries.

O-I is responding to market needs with this pack which supports the authentic, craft image many brewers are seeking for their premium products. The design retains the deep push up base and shape of a champagne bottle with the convenient 500ml capacity, 300g weight and 26mm crown closure familiar to most UK and continental brewers. This ensures it can run along existing filling lines with very little adaptation of plant settings.
