Mineral Water
Products: still and carbonated spring water, mineral water, flavored or functional water.
Main requirements for bottling still natural water are hygiene and pure taste preservation. Hygiene is particularly important for flavored and functional water.
The main requirements of a mineral water container are:
• Attractive packaging and unique shapes design for strong product identity & visibility
• Lightweight packaging. Find the best compromise between extreme light-weight and mechanical resistance to support filling line handling, storage and transportation.
• Ergonomic shapes to improve grip of consumers
• Big convenience sizes, and big containers for dispenser
PET is the preferred packaging material, it is light-weight, transparent, unbreakable, can be easily customized into a wide variety of shapes and offers good aroma barrier.

In case of big size containers (up to 30 liters), they can be produced on the SFL and ECS range of machines.
Sipa Berchi production includes a wide range of solutions of wet and dry area machines, in order to match with all the requirements of the Mineral Water market in terms of bottles sizes, products and final output.

Special containers
• Large Containers: PET is becoming the most flexible and cost effective material for the manufacturing of Big size containers.
9-18 liters PET containers for water are the standard today in the market. The ability to design innovative packaging and to manufacture preforms and containers for such big sizes are the key for this new market trend.
• PLA containers: PLA is a polymer derived from 100% annually renewable resources such as corn. It offers more disposal options and, showing a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, is more environmentally friendly to manufacture than traditional petroleum based plastics. Furthermore it is not impacted by petroleum-based feedstock costs.
Beverages and products are enhanced with bottles made from PLA polymer: market research clearly shows that consumers believe that beverages and products packaged in containers made from nature are fresher and more wholesome. Performance and the environmental attributes of bottles and labels made from PLA can provide brandowners with a strong point of differentiation.
