SIG announced the launch of a new, on-the-go carton bottle: SIG DomeMini. The small-size carton pack offers all the convenience of a plastic bottle and the sustainability benefits of a carton pack, it said.

“The market for on-the-go beverages continues to grow and offers immense potential. By combining convenience with sustainability, SIG DomeMini sets the 2 stage and offers a new drinking experience for consumers, who can now enjoy their favorite drink on the move while helping to reduce plastic waste," said Christoph Wegener, CMO at SIG: 

Designed for recycling, SIG DomeMini is mainly made from FSC-certified paperboard and produced using 100% renewable electricity. With the high share of forest-based renewable material as well as a sophisticated resource-efficient and space-saving design, SIG DomeMini comes with a number of environmental benefits compared to alternative packaging options like plastic bottles, the company stated.  

The SIG DomeMini 12 Aseptic filling machine is capable of aseptically filling 12,000 packages per hour – in a total of seven volume sizes from 180 to 350 ml on one and the same machine with volume change in just 15 minutes.

The first market launch of SIG DomeMini is in China, with expansion to other countries on the way. “Our new SIG DomeMini on-the-go premium pack perfectly complements our already successful family-size SIG Dome aseptic carton bottle," said Wegener. "We can now offer food and beverage companies a bottle-shaped carton product family for the on-the-go and at-home occasion that does not compromise on convenience and delivers superior sustainability performance. The eye-catching design of the SIG Dome family really stands out on shelf too, clearly differentiating it from other packaging types.”
