Sidel has launched its new PressureSAFE PET aerosol container design, which it says will give home and personal care brands the opportunity to offer more environmentally sustainable dispensing spray packaging, and is easily recyclable through traditional recycling streams.
Intended for use with products such as perfumes and deodorants, Sidel says PressureSAFE will offer home and personal care brands a more competitive choice of pressurised container than the traditional metal aerosol container.
According to Sidel, PressureSAFE will enable brands to demonstrate their carbon-saving credentials, while also responding to the sustainability demands of consumers.
It claims PressureSAFE maintains the highest standards of product safety, making PET containers as safe as metal aerosol containers.
The PET dispensing spray has been designed to resist pressure in order to maintain a safe structure, protect against leakages, breakages, and roll-out during transportation and storage.
Sidel expects PressureSAFE to transform the way that companies specialising in home and personal care products can respond to high consumer expectations, while addressing operational challenges and withstanding extreme supply chain conditions.
It says the container base design of PressureSAFE provides maximum packaging performance, by combining an optimised pre-form design and viscosity level with a specific container’s vault shape.
This ensures that the final product is fully compliant with FEA and PARG aerosol regulations and material specifications.
A specific active mould base solution, Sidel’s proven Base Over Stroke System, provides the on-site production line blower configuration to produce the desired aerosol spray design. Sidel also offers customers laboratory bench tests to qualify the package’s performance.
“The adoption of PressureSAFE aerosol containers enables companies to demonstrate their carbon-saving credentials, reflecting their own environmental commitment, while responding to the sustainability demands of their customers,” said Mikael Derrien, Sidel’s packaging and tooling innovation manager.
“Sidel is helping home and personal care companies to take more individual control of their brands, and we’ve taken our 30 years of technical design, innovation and packaging experience, and translated this into the new PressureSAFE product.
“The PressureSAFE packaging base design combined with a specific mould base system, and the right pre-form design enables companies to maintain and enhance their competitive edge by being able to offer their customers brand-specific packaging that is safe, robust and environmentally friendly.”
Sidel claims the nature of the PET aerosol provides companies with greater design opportunities, compared to traditional metal packaging.
It says the essence of PressureSAFE is its container base design, which incorporates brand-specific patented structures. It can be customised with different body designs, including belt and texturing options and a conical or round shoulder.
PET transparency also offers consumers direct visibility of the product and enhanced marketing with decorative options, such as a partial or full body sleeve.
Sidel can help design a package in-line with any brand through a comprehensive packaging services approach. Every design depends on customers’ packaging requirement specifications, supply chain conditions and product goals.
