In a significant move towards sustainable packaging, Ampol Food, a leading innovator in the food and beverage manufacturing industry, has partnered with SIG to introduce the SIG DomeMini carton bottle in Thailand. This collaboration marks the debut of SIG DomeMini in the Thai market, aligning with the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
Introducing SIG DomeMini: A Sustainable Alternative
The SIG DomeMini is an on-the-go carton bottle designed to offer the convenience of a plastic bottle while providing the sustainability benefits of a carton pack. Primarily made from FSC™-certified paperboard and produced using 100% renewable electricity, the SIG DomeMini is designed for recycling and boasts a lightweight, space-saving design. This innovative packaging solution significantly reduces plastic usage, catering to the increasing trend of "paperization" in product packaging .
Ampol Food's Commitment to Sustainability
Ampol Food has chosen the SIG DomeMini for the launch of its V-FIT premium rice-based nutritional drink range. By adopting this packaging, Ampol Food delivers a sleek, distinctive, and ergonomic carton pack with a centrally positioned cap, allowing consumers to drink as from a bottle. This design is easy to open and reclose, making it a perfect fit for busy, health-conscious consumers.
Dr. Kriangsak Theppadungporn, Managing Director at Ampol Food, stated, “We are leading the way, not only when it comes to innovation in our products, but also in setting the trend for packaging solutions as part of the product concept. Opting for the SIG DomeMini is a step towards more sustainable on-the-go packaging in Thailand. We are empowering our consumers to make more eco-conscious choices without compromising on convenience while consuming their beverage on the move.”
