Amcor launches 38 mm carry handle for PET containers

Amcor has unveiled a new 38 mm handle for PET containers for water and other non-carbonated beverages, allowing users to have strong grip for easy carrying.

Amcor’s new 38 mm handle for PET container.

The handle fits bottles with a 38 mm neck and is compatible with the Proxima Tethered Closure and other beverage closures from Amcor. It is suitable for large PET containers of up to 10 liters, a format that’s seeing an increase in market demand from consumers.

The 38 mm handle, when combined with the closure, saves 34.5% in weight compared to the 48 mm version. It also incorporates retention tabs to hold it to the neck securely and tightly.

“This new 38mm handle comes at the right time, with more consumers demanding water or non-carbonated beverages in container sizes of between 5 to 10 liters. It’s a solution that is convenient for the consumer and makes it easier to carry,” said Uli Kobert, product line manager – Beverage Closures & Home Care Triggers at Amcor.
