PET packaging specialist APPE is bringing its packaging expertise to a self tanning product.
Danish tanning producer nordictan is the first customer to benefit from APPE's plastic aerosol container innovation, SprayPET.

nordictan chose the SprayPET aerosol container as it felt the product reflected its ethical approach and matched its product philosophy thanks to its low carbon footprint, its 100 per cent recyclability and the fact it uses 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.
