A consumer’s experience of touch, sight and sound
can generate notions of importance, quality and
even monetary worth when engaging with a
product’s package.
Creating premium closures
that convey superior quality, sophistication and style
is what make this producer a leader in its market.
Finding a material that would not compromise the
premium quality provided to a leading spirits brand
was critical for the closure producer.

reputation for quality products was beginning to take

As well as color correction, this solution also
improves the quality and performance of rPET and
improves bottle mechanical strength, helping to
reduce stoppages, blowouts and scrap while also
reducing energy consumption during the bottle
blowing process.
These factors result in an
increased requirement for toners and specialized
solutions that are designed to withstand the
recycling process, and ensure optimum packaging
is achieved in terms of color and quality.
THE SOLUTION
When added to PET preforms or rPET, ColorMatrix
Optica blue toners and color formulations work to
correct any yellowing or color variation, resulting
in packaging that maintains a neutral or blue color
with improved quality and performance.
