Owens-Illinois (O-I) has announced that it is testing a jar with a different shape of pouring spout, which it claims is ‘unique in the sector’.

The VersaFlow jar (pictured) is aimed at eliminating the potential of mess caused by jars with rounded openings that lead to spills or food waste and the company has announced that it could be commercially available in four to five months.

According to the company, the jar can be adapted to a variety of shapes and sizes for the food and beverage industry.
