| Viscose Closures supplies 'royal' water bottle caps
Simeon Goldstein, packagingnews.co.uk, 12 February 2010
Crawley-based Viscose Closures is supplying metal caps and PVC closures for the bottles of water from a spring that is said to have been discovered by King Henry VI.
King Henry VI English spring water is sourced from a well on Bolton Hall Estate in Lancashire where Henry stayed after losing the battle of Hexham in the War of the Roses. The well is said to have been discovered by the monarch's divining skills.
The water is sold, still or sparkling, in 330ml and 750ml glass bottles. Viscose supplies the firm with a viola PVC cap that has a tear tab to open.
The capsules are embossed with the motif that appears on a pendant in a portrait of Henry VI that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. It is also used on the bottle's label.
Joanne Bosonnet, King Henry VI Waster commercial director, said the firm had been pleased with the design, delivery and after sales service from Viscose Closures. "Such support is invaluable to a new brand such as ours." |
