Nordictan benefits from APPE’S SPRAYPET® Technology

PET packaging specialist, APPE, has confirmed that the first customer to benefit from its plastic aerosol container innovation, SprayPET®, is Danish tanning products firm, nordictan®.

With many years of experience in producing self-tanning products, automatic self-tanning systems, self-tanning lotions and accessories, nordictan® is active in both domestic and export markets, selling its products under its own brand and private label. nordictan® chose the SprayPET® aerosol container as it felt the product reflected its ethical approach and matched its product philosophy, in having a low carbon footprint, being 100% recyclable and using air instead of man-made propellants. The company prides itself on producing a natural product without parabens - a type of preservative commonly found in beauty products - perfume or alcohol. Furthermore, its products are certified cruelty-free and also endorsed by the Nordic-Ecolabel - a trademark that guarantees that products have fulfilled stringent environmental and climate criteria. Mads Jaegerum, managing director of nordictan® said: “APPE’s SprayPET® product not only complements our values, but also provides us with a fantastic looking container which has great shelf presence. We have ambitious growth plans and using SprayPET® technology for our products is the right choice for our future.” Available in 220ml and 335ml sizes, SprayPET® is suitable for use with all types of propellant and bag-on-valve systems. SprayPET® containers can be supplied in white, coloured or transparent PET, with printing and sleeving options available. It has widespread applications in personal care, food and home care products. “We are thrilled to be working with nordictan® to package one of its flagship, premium products. SprayPET® is the result of a complex product development with huge technical challenges and demands, and we are delighted that nordictan® has embraced the benefits of the technology. This is first of many projects in the pipeline and represents a significant milestone in the history of PET aerosols” said APPE’s Murdoch Crawford, APPE’s Dispensing Systems Category Director.
