Owens-Illinois (O-I), one of the world’s largest glass packaging manufacturers, has recently won a number of awards across different segments, showing the flexibility of glass as a packaging material.
??Among the glass bottles to be recognised is the Gize-bottle, which is produced by O-I for Gize mineral water from Canadian Mineral Water (CMW). It has received a total of 10 national and international awards, including the Gold Pentaward 2011 and will be displayed in the Paris DesignPack Gallery and published in ‘The Package Design Book’, available worldwide.??
The Gize bottle was designed by the advertising agency Zweipunktnull, working in close collaboration with O-I. The product is presented in a bottle with clear lines, a slim, tapered waist and a shoulder and base of the same diameter.??
“The awards Gize has received show that glass is clearly the right choice for our high-end product. It is pure, inert, and it perfectly preserves the aroma and minerals of our water,” said CMW spokesperson, Sibylle Erler.
