Gerresheimer’s range for Nuremburg

Tasteful miniatures, bottles and jars give an impression of the varied ways in which an
enjoyable product can develop a distinctive character while
still on the shelf. Manufacturers of spirits and other
beverages will find plenty to interest them here – and for
specialty segments of the food industry a visit is also very
worthwhile.
In addition to the predominant Gerresheimer business of
pharmaceutical glass packaging and high-calibre glass design for
cosmetics, the beverage and food sector forms a smaller but equally
sophisticated area of competence in the Group’s operations. “We
concentrate primarily on highly marketing-oriented segments of this
market,” says Burkhard Lingenberg, Director of Corporate PR and
Marketing for the Gerresheimer Group. “As a direct communicator
of value to the consumer, glass packaging is simply unbeatable – not
to mention the complete protection which it offers for the contents,
unlike many other packaging materials.” In Nuremberg visitors can
see the latest highlights in parallel with eternally youthful classics
which have made marketing history. The presentation provides a
cross-section of the Group’s attractive and carefully designed range
with a multitude of variation possibilities.
In addition to the standard range, which stimulates the appetite
with approximately 60 basic shapes in more than 500 variants,
individually customised developments are offered. Gerresheimer has
at its disposal all the relevant production processes and all the
methods for individual finishing. The spectrum ranges from the
smallest five-millilitre miniature to large three-litre containers.
Options include relief-type texturing of the glass, acid etching and
direct printing. In addition to transparent flint and amber glass the
Group can on request produce feeder-coloured glass in a very wide
range of hues as well as opaque opal glass which provides additional
light protection, now not only in snow white but also in a special creamy-coloured variant displayed by Gerresheimer at the trade fair under the new OpalNuance brand name.
