Aisacan® provides plenty of potential for drinks

Aisacan bottle concept - the latest innovation utilising the Cyclero® technology - has been awarded with an Alufoil Trophy 2009 for its first commercial application for an iron sports drink. The concept is a joint development between Huhtamaki Ronsberg and Aisapack Vouvry.

The Aisacan® WCUP bottle range developed for the Belgian sports nutrition products provider WCUP features a rigid top and bottom, while the body of the pack is a rotogravure pre-printed alufoil flexible laminate (PP/Printing/Adhesive/ALU/Adhesive/ PP). The Aisacan is suitable for fruit juices without pulp, sports drinks and flavoured water with a pH below 4.

“A special feature of the bottle is the efficient use of the flexible film’s thin aluminium foil layer which provides a good temperature transfer between the inside and outside of the pack’s body. This makes the bottle cool to touch. The complete body of the pack can also be printed to give it plenty of room for customer messages”, says Gerhard Hartmann, Global Director Cyclero. The range is available in 250, 300 and 330 ml sizes.

The annual Alufoil Trophy is organized by the European Aluminium Foil Association. Huhtamaki Ronsberg won the Trophy also in 2007 with Cyclero for Amaroy Coffeepads from german retailer Aldi Süd.
