“As part of an ongoing series of eco-friendly initiatives, wellness company XANGO replaced its original glass juice bottle with a custom 750ml PET container. The switch not only yielded sustainability benefits – including an 85% reduction in package weight and enhanced recyclability – but is also saving the company over $1 million annually in the cost of goods, freight, secondary packaging and breakage.

With Manufacturing services provided by Berlin Packaging, the new package recreates the shape of XANGO’s soft-shouldered tapered glass bottle in PET with subtle adjustments to accommodate the limitations of blow molding. A full shrink wrap was used to help retain the look of glass, and the filling process was changed from hot fill to aseptic fill to maintain the juice color, flavor and phytonutrient content while also saving energy.
