Hermitage, PA (PRWEB) August 2, 2006 -- Generation “Next” of aluminum bottles is here and it promises to bring fabulous form and even greater function to the category.

CCL Container has recently introduced the first two designs in its new ALUMINEX™ line of “full-body shaped” aluminum bottles.

ALUMINEX™ promises to unlock the design possibilities for aluminum bottles like never before.

The first two designs, the “Roadhouse,” is an American icon -- the longneck bottle. It is available in 12 oz and 16 oz sizes with crown and 28mm threaded finishes. CCL’s second design, the “Tailgater,” features a full-contoured body and can be produced with a number of bottle finishes, including crown, 38 ROPP, 38mm threaded and 38mm lug finishes. The ALUMINEX™ technology also offers the possibilities to create custom bottle designs. The first “Tailgater” customer is on board and product will be in the marketplace shortly.

According to CCL’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Ed Martin, “The consumer desire for aluminum bottles is growing in North America and around the world. Our investment in ALUMINEX™ technology will allow marketers to utilize our aluminum bottles to enhance design and brand equity in their product lines.” Martin explains, “We want to give marketers the opportunity to use our packaging to improve the value equation of their products.”

Beverages in aluminum bottles cool faster, and some studies have even proven them to stay colder longer than in glass. The ALUMINEX™ line offers the added advantage of proprietary, food-grade, internal and external linings to protect product taste and purity. ALUMINEX™ bottles are 100% recyclable and are available in a choice of industry standard resealable closure systems.

CCL Container is North America’s leading producer of impact-extruded aluminum packaging. CCL has ISO 9002 Registered manufacturing facilities in Hermitage, PA, Penetang, ONT and Mexico City, Mexico.
