Snifter Drinktainer™ Design

February 02, 2022

Form Language plays a very important part in packaging design. Consumers are unconsciously drawn towards things that look & feel familiar. It is important that when we design packaging that we take clues from familiar things we know from areas such as architecture, cultural specifics or anything related to what we see in nature.

Establishing an emotional connection with the consumer through the packaging by taking this into account will help you to stand out on shelf.

Snifter Drinktainer™ - Some may say good beer is good beer and it doesn’t matter from which vessel you actually drink it. But we personally think it does matter – and we know lots of beer lovers care about how they experience their favorite beverages.

There is purpose behind the different designs for glassware. The Snifter Drinktainer was designed to deliver aroma, which plays a vital role in a beer's flavor profile. The rounded bottom fits perfectly in your hand.

The Snifter Drinktainer is the perfect “to go” solution that carries the largest commercially available closure for pressure content and pasteurization which is a 42mm Rip Cap and is the closest solution to replicate a draft experience.

The Snifter Drinktainer™ design 298ml 42mm RipCap Seal Amber bottle has attributes that include Premium, New & Exciting - the numbers are thought to be lucky in Asia.

We aim to have this readily available to serve your demand.

We are looking to produce via our Vietnam plant in Ho Chi Minh where we can offer you FOB, ex works or DAP pricing.  To support you to market we need to understand your location, estimated volumes and filling requirements. 

NOTE: as these are Industry containers, there are no mould costs.

Please email bayard.sinnema@o-i.com or antonius.darmadi@o-i.com to discuss.

The O-I Asia team can work with you and provide more information such as technical drawings, samples, packaging specification and container loading.  We need to understand how you would like to purchase (ex works, FOB or DAP) and (pallet quantities vs 20' containers).  We can then offer you competitive pricing and payment terms.

Once we have reached launch volumes, then we can do first production - at this stage we are aiming for Q3 2022 to be confirmed.

Launch partners can showcase their branded bottles on the O-I stand at the 2022 SEA Brew in Bangkok in October.
