Sidel is expanding its existing StarLITE-R range, a dedicated portfolio of bottle bases designed for recycled PET (rPET)
Sidel introduced the StarLITE-R Nitro bottle base, offering manufacturers of nitrogen-dosed still beverages and edible oils increased creative options, sustainable manufacturing, and proven performance.
The StarLITE-R Nitro features a distinctive ‘wave’ bottle base design for still beverages and edible oils, as opposed to traditional petaloid shapes, and is 100 per cent compatible with recycled PET. It has also been tested under industrial conditions to ensure top bottle resilience and quality.
Laurent Naveau, Packaging Innovator Leader at Sidel, comments: “StarLITE-R Nitro is the perfect choice to create stand-out shelf appeal. We believe it is the most aesthetically appealing bottle base for liquid nitrogen-dosed products with a mainstream or affordable market positioning. Equally, this design is compatible with any existing bottle shape, and is easy to blow and shape, even at high production speeds with 100 per cent rPET.”

“Nitrogen dosing adds a small quantity of liquid nitrogen to beverage and food products, which increases the pressure inside the bottle, ultimately enhancing the pack’s resistance as it travels through the supply chain. This process is used for still beverages and food products. Brands are looking for a design that does not resemble a petaloid while maintaining the same performance as this traditional shape; this is a key feature of StarLITE -R Nitro,” explains Laurent.
“As an original equipment manufacturer with over forty years of blowing expertise, Sidel has channelled this experience into the design of its new bottle base for nitrogen-dosed still products.”
