First Milk’s The Lake District Dairy Company, known for its Frumoo and Quark brands has launched a ready to drink coffee called Caffe Latte in original and vanilla variants made using fresh British milk and Arabica coffee. As an alternative to longlife UHT coffee brands known throughout Europe it has superior taste qualities and benefits from a tempting design and graphics.
Bottled in off the shelf packaging from injection and blow moulding specialists Esterform Packaging, it uses an 18 gram bottle with 38mm UCS neck and resealable cap, designed for drinking on the go.
PET bottles from Esterform offer the ideal choice for fillers of dairy beverages, juice drinks, smoothies and juices (especially fresh pressed). The 38mm necks are offered with 3 start and single start finishes, to match a wide range of closure options. A skilful choice of closure, label or sleeve options can convert a standard bottle into a unique pack.
Volumes include 250ml, 330ml, 500ml and 1 litre bottle sizes. Esterform also makes customised 28mm and 38mm neck bottles for coffee syrups, and milk shakes.
