Amcor has developed a new hot-fill polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle for Colombia’s Nutrea/Frudelca’s breakthrough Frupro protein juice. The company is a pioneer in the development of PET heat-set technology, which allows beverages to be filled at temperatures up to 85°C to ensure product quality and extended shelf life.

Nutrea/Frudelca is a joint venture between Frudelca, a leading juice supplier, and Nutrea, a food and beverage company. Their Frupro protein juice is the latest in a growing category that blends the benefits of natural juice with protein to appeal to health-conscious consumers. It will be launched this month in Colombia.

“We relied on Amcor as an important partner to deliver an innovative packaging solution that meets the performance test of this new functional beverage,” said Alejandor Gaviria, General Manager of Frudelca.

“We’re thrilled to supply a hot-fill bottle that meets all the performance requirements for an evolving segment,” said Rodrigo Lecot, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, for Amcor Rigid Packaging-Latin America.

The lightweight, recyclable bottle not only preserves the natural juice and protein ingredients but also delivers a clean look and strong shelf appeal that consumers want, according to Lecot. Amcor supplies 300-ml and 440-ml bottles for Frupro’s orange juice product.
